Overview
Creative Access has a long-standing partnership with the National Theatre to enable people from under-represented communities to access careers in the world of theatre.
Partnership impact
Creative Access has enabled the National Theatre to significantly increase the ethnic diversity of its team over an 8 year period. We placed over 25 interns from under-represented communities in the team. 90% of these are still working in the theatre industry.
Activity
Creative Access has worked whole-heartedly with the National Theatre. We have delivered masterclasses to sector-wide theatre groups for staff from ethnically diverse communities. We have also delivered “Managing Inclusive Cultures” training to 400 managers at the theatre “jam-packed with enough wisdom and insight to help us take the next steps on our journey.”
