We are thrilled to announce that we have been nominated for the National Diversity Awards.
We are a theatre company that was formed to challenge the lack of diversity and “safe” white middle class theatre that was being produced for white middle class audiences.
We aim to prove that it isn’t a “risk” to champion diverse stories, employ diverse artists and tell diverse stories. We aim to redress the imbalance we have seen in our theatrical culture. From investing in emerging working class and global majority creatives to touring to areas which have been hit with a huge underfunding of the arts, diversity is at the heart of everything we do.
As a small company we know we don’t have much in comparison to some of the huge companies nominated. But the difference it would make to us to be shortlisted would be HUGE.
We would be able to get increased funding to provide more PWYC and free opportunities. We would be able to support and mentor more diverse emerging artists. We would be able to tour to more places around the UK, provide essential free workshops to state school students and regional global majority artists. And most of all we can prove that diversity isn’t just a box to tick, but the essential and vital heart of our industry.
Please vote for us and help us change the industry from the inside out!
