“ATC is committed to creating and developing new plays from international writers, this includes theatre artists in the UK and across the world. We also play a vital role in creating opportunities for the next generation of British playwrights and directors, breaking down social and economic barriers to careers and leadership. We need your help to do this important work ensuring the future of theatre represents our future society.”
– MATTHEW XIA, ARTISTIC DIRECTOR, Actors Touring Company
WHY WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT NOW
Our mission to bring global voices to local places, to celebrate the connective tissue that binds the cross-cultural nations within our communities, has even greater meaning now than ever before. As a leading voice in advocating and provoking, particularly in relation to representation, equality of opportunity, and commissioning new work.
Your SUPPORT will help us:
- Break down social and economic barriers in the arts, by providing sustainable career pathways for early career directors – through our Associate Director programme
- Create a participatory programme in under-served regions, engaging communities in skills development, programming decisions, shadowing and career planning
- Commission new plays from global voices, such as Family Tree by Mojisola Adebayo the Alfred Fagon award winning story of Henrietta Lacks
