Theatre

Thorpe is a founding member of Unlimited Theatre – who have devised, written, produced and performed experimental theatre since graduating. Their honours include two Edinburgh Fringe firsts for ‘Static’^[1] and ‘Neutrino’,^[2] and shows that have been toured worldwide.

An Air Cadet in his youth, Thorpe is a keen pilot. Much of his work documents his interest in aviation, physics and minutiae.

Chris Thorpes notable theatre work includes Presumption (2007) ^[3], Parts for machines that do things (2008) ^[4], Neutrino (2001) ^[2] and Static (2000) ^[1]

Chis has enjoyed mixed critical acclaim from the LA Times describing Static as : "Achingly vital and a must see event - LA Times^[5]" to FEST magazine describing 'Safety' at the Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh 2002, in which he played one of the characters, Sean: "the over earnest Sean could have been more challengingly portrayed than as the stereotypical Northern nob-end"

Music

A flexible musician, Thorpe is a member of folk act Little Neemo , noise trio Pig Village and Moss Side’s Panfire Steel Band.
