Supporting marginalised communities transform futures through theatre

Inclusive theatre projects for young people at risk

Access

We will deliver accredited and non-accredited theatre-making programmes for young people who have not had the opportunity to achieve academic qualifications. We will support young people NEET as they navigate their way into education, training and employment.

We will provide a range of structured and flexible support for young people’s personal, academic, cultural, creative, social, communal, political and financial development.

Agency

Our young people will have their voices heard and they will shape the direction of the work we produce together. We will aim to provide a platform for plurality of narratives, identities and voices.

Generation Arts rejects the marginalisation of young people. We will promote inclusion and agency and encourage the young people to exercise leadership to develop the company.

Aspiration

Our structured and boundaried approach will provide a framework for trust and creativity.

We will not be afraid to challenge our participants, and together we will aspire to excellence whilst working within a safe space where risks can be taken.

Affirmation

We believe that transformation occurs when young people are able to perform and lead in public settings and on new platforms.

We will support and encourage leadership and we will create opportunities for our young people to perform and facilitate their excellent work beyond the safe space of the group.
