About Immediate Theatre

Our company aims are:

• To work in partnership to support the use of drama and other art forms as a tool for social engagement in all aspects of society.
• To provide programmes that enable people at high risk of exclusion to participate in the arts.
• To develop productions and performed workshops exploring a range of social issues pertinent to the experiences of specific communities that enable people to engage in the process of change.
• To create pathways to employment in the arts industries for those traditionally not accessing these opportunities.
• To produce high quality theatre projects that inspire everyone involved.

 

We not only give people a stage on which to perform, we give them the confidence to stand on that stage and have their voice heard. Nurturing this new found confidence is important to us. Therefore, we create supported pathways across our projects so participation is not just an isolated experience but an ongoing journey.

Immediate Theatre was established as a charity in 1996 and our offices are based in Hackney. We currently have a staff team of 14 and are governed by a board of trustees.
