Creative Team

DARKFIELD was founded in 2016 by David Rosenberg, Glen Neath, and Andrea Salazar. Rosenberg and Neath had collaborated since 2012 - Rosenberg after more than a decade making large-scale work in found spaces with the collective Shunt, Neath as a novelist, radio dramatist, and maker of headphone shows. Their first productions, RING in 2013 and FICTION, seated audiences in complete darkness in binaural headphones with no visible performers. Touring revealed a problem: every venue had its own acoustics, and the real room kept breaking the world built in the headphones. The answer was to control the space entirely. In 2016 they moved the work into a 40ft shipping container, with seating, lighting, sound, and even temperature calibrated, and SÉANCE became the first container show, followed by FLIGHT, COMA, INVISIBLE, EULOGY, and ARCADE. In 2020, with venues closed, DARKFIELD RADIO brought the same darkness-and-headphones experience home through an app.
