Inclusive Interactive Imaginative
We involve communities in making theatre that inspires wellbeing, breaks down barriers and engages people in the process of personal and social change.
About us
A Stage to Perform
We work with young people and communities in Hackney and East London to ensure access for all to arts activities that break down barriers and engage people in debate. Immediate Theatre’s vision is for a society where questioning, articulate and motivated people create and collaborate to build thriving communities.
Creative Solutions
We regularly respond to requests from statutory and voluntary sector organisations to use our innovative theatre approach to tackle complex issues
Working with Schools
We provide a range of performances and workshops to enrich and support the school curriculum. Using innovative approaches, we aim to tackle key issues and increase achievement of young people.
Interactions
We have been engaging with excluded young people in Hackney for almost 20 years. Using drama and filmmaking to enable participants to develop confidence, communication and self-knowledge.
Theatre Exchange
We have a track-record of creating excellent work with older people including productions toured to lunch/social clubs and sheltered housing venues, and inter-generational participatory projects.
Kickstart Employability Support
We offer support for Hackney-based employers hosting Kickstart placements, providing a comprehensive programme for young people, designed to develop professional skills and foster personal development.
Estate-based Youth Theatres
We have been providing FREE high quality open access youth theatres on estates in Hackney since 1998. The programme has engaged thousands of participants who do not traditionally have access to arts opportunities.
Pathways to Employment
