About us
Hey,
I’m Matt Harris, the founder and creative director of Cerebrum. I started the company in 2019, 6 months before a global pandemic, which as we can all admit, was a really good idea. However, that time gave me space to really hone in on the ‘why’ of Cerebrum. I have a background in performance, starting my career as a dancer before moving into acting. I’ve worked as a stuntman, choreographer, actor, dancer, as well as doing years of work as an event manager. My CV is really varied, as I’ve followed the vicissitudes of fate, wherever they’ve taken me.
Getting to know so many facets of the industry have given me a comprehensive understanding of what truly matters in entertainment; how it makes audiences feel. I came in at the ground level with immersive peformance, as an audience member, and couldn’t believe the way it made me feel. I felt as though I became the hero of my own story, immersing myself in another world and feeling like my actions mattered. That agency, that feeling of adventure, is what I put at the forefront of every experience with Cerebrum.
Cerebrum work alongside some of the most talented creatives in the UK. Everyone who works with us have earned their stripes working with the best Immersive theatre companies in the world. We have decades of combined experience, working all across the globe; on stage, in front as well as behind the camera.
An integral tenet to our philosophy is respect towards our performers. We have built a strong company of passionate, loyal performers by treating them with fairness and integrity. Every one of our crew are ambassadors for the company, and we trust them all implicitly. It is their talent and commitment that has contributed to Cerebrum establishing a reputation for reliability and excellence.
For that reason, we now have a diverse group of multi-talented creatives: actors, dancer, musicians, directors, designers, choreographers et al. When approaching any new project, we only select the best people for the job, therefore ensuring the best possible delivery.
