WHAT WE DO
We're theatre makers who create powerful and provoking work, connect communities through art, through surprise, through spectacle, and develop artists who have been displaced.
"People need food, people need water. But without poems, without music, people do not have life. That is why we need this, we need Good Chance, we need each other."
- Mustafa, Change the Word Poet
MAKE THEATRE
We co-create major theatrical productions and public artworks with displaced artists
We work with displaced artists to write, create and produce groundbreaking theatre and public artwork like The Jungle, The Walk with Amal and Kyoto; radical stories of hope and humanity that help us navigate the great challenge of living together now.
CONNECT COMMUNITIES
We create new kinds of communities, collaborating with artists from across the world and connecting people, stories and cultures
Whether we're building temporary Theatres of Hope in the form of large, geodesic domes in areas with high refugee populations, or co-creating a giant festival of Afghan kite flying, we create meaningful opportunities for newly arrived and local communities to meet and connect through the arts. Since our first Dome theatre in Calais in 2015, over 1 million people have now taken part in our projects and events.
DEVELOP ARTISTS
We create opportunities for displaced people to develop as artists and be an integral part of the UK’s creative ecosystem
We provide intensive, long-term artistic and professional support for people who have been displaced. So far, we’ve given paid employment to over 750 artists and bespoke 1-2-1 support and employment to 150 artists with lived experience of displacement and migration. Hear from the people we’ve supported, and find out about open opportunities to collaborate with us.
