Telling stories in an experiential way breaks through invisible barriers and opens our hearts and minds to the possibility of transformation. We channel that potential into practical, social change action by directly connecting high quality theatre shows with education and advocacy projects.

What we do
We can't do this work alone, and we don't want to. So we collaborate with citizens and organisations in all sectors, to maximise the long-term impact of our work. We also intentionally create space before, during and after our shows for conversation, relationship and community to flourish, and work to bring people from vastly different walks of life together in the same audience, so that interesting conversations can happen.
Our work might be made with professional artists, or non-professionals, or a mixture, it depends on the project. Likewise, it might be found in a traditional theatre venue or a non-traditional performance space like a bingo hall, a pub or a swimming pool.
how we do it
We believe that how we do what we do is equally as important as what we do. These are the values that guide how we work.
