Participation
We seek to reach and inspire those who have barriers to experiencing live theatre by celebrating cultural diversity, expanding audience’s and artist’s horizons.
We are committed to reinvestigating, revitalising and reimaging classic stories making them accessible for a contemporary audience.
To inspire and celebrate artists from all backgrounds and experiences with an emphasis on ensemble, working collaboratively and collectively.
We acknowledge and celebrate that we are all richer if everyone has access to great theatre.
“Art is not a mirror held up to reality but a hammer with which to shape it.”
Bertolt Brecht
“I can take any empty space and call it a bare stage. A man walks across this empty space whilst someone else is watching him, and this is all is for an act of theatre to be engaged.”
Peter Brook
“Lets stay curious, and loyal, humble and brave. Lets keep changing the World, one company, one community one audience at a time.”

"Theatre is going to be so important moving forward, our kids have missed out on so much. Their cultural knowledge and experience of the world is shrinking."
