As a leader in Youth Theatre, inclusivity is one of our core values. We believe that diversity in all its forms is an essential building block for creativity.
We are committed to being an actively anti-racist organisation who forefront equity, inclusivity, and diversity in our work and practice. We are proud to celebrate the many different cultures in our community and we operate with zero-tolerance to any forms of discrimination, whether that be because of race, gender, class, sexuality, or any other protected characteristic. As we co-create with young people, our new anti-racist policy will be written through a young people’s assembly and workshop, and will be created by bringing together experts, lived experience, and young voices.
We want to articulate our commitment to combating racism with renewed energy, with a focus on a clear plan that addresses who we work with, the way we recruit, and the policies that will shape us as an organisation.
We recognise that we, and the UK theatre sector as a whole, need to address the structural racism built into the sector. We therefore need to challenge ourselves first in order to dismantle the assumptions and attitudes within our own organisation that might perpetuate these inequalities.
We welcome further conversation about this statement.
