Michael Kantor studied at the University of Melbourne and at L’École Philippe Gaulier in Paris. As an actor and director of theatre and opera, he has worked for companies throughout Australia. At The CUB Malthouse he has directed The Ham Funeral, Not Like Beckett, Journal of the Plague Year, Babes in the Wood, Sleeping Beauty and The Odyssey.

Malthouse Theatre aims to challenge the definition of theatre as narratively determined prewritten plays. It creates and promotes theatrical activity that emphasises performer and the audience experience, often drawing techniques from dance, opera, stand-up comedy, cabaret, music and the visual arts. The company programs two seasons of diverse contemporary theatre each year and engages in collaborations with festivals and companies across Australia. Malthouse Theatre have toured productions to Kuala Lumpur, United Kingdom, Amsterdam, Holland and New Zealand.
