We are Barbican Theatre: we get excited about people creating and enjoying theatre, dance and live entertainment.

Inclusivity is very important to us and we want to work with all kinds of people to make outstanding theatre, dance and all other types of live performance.

People can get involved in so many ways; not just as a participant or an audience member. They could be a technician, a producer, choreographer, director, writer, designer or interested in arts marketing. There are so many opportunities and experiences we want to help emerging talent explore and engage with so that together we can create work that inspires, challenges, entertains and educates.

Barbican Theatre is a dynamic charity started in 1980. We believe that creativity belongs to everyone, so we ensure that our performances and workshops are affordable and accessible.

Thrive emerging artists

Thrive is Barbican Theatre's programme of support for local, new and emerging artists.

Drawing upon our history of working with artists, we offer a range of opportunities for artists to get involved with us - from masterclass workshops to performing on our stages, we are committed to giving individuals and companies the chance to thrive.

Barbican Theatre has a history of showcasing work from exciting local and emerging artists, across a variety of art forms - including theatre, dance, spoken work and cabaret. Artists we have worked with and helped to develop and grow include Le Navet Bete, Beyond Face, and Scratchworks Theatre Company.

As a company committed to talent development, Barbican Theatre is happy to provide advice to local artists and practitioners which may help their career progression.

FUSE Diverse Dance

FUSE is Barbican Theatre’s 4 year diverse dance project, funded by Arts Council England

Barbican Theatre has a strong history of dance development over the last 40 years. FUSE aims to create a new way of making dance by bringing together diverse communities, local dancers and guest choreographers as equal partners – to have fun, share dance styles and create mind blowing new performances for public audiences.

Barbican Theatre Performance Training  

Barbican Theatre Performance Training classes offer something a bit different.

Young people (ages 12 - 25) choose the subject, they devise, they choreograph, they make the performances happen – as actors, dancers, technicians, producers, directors, even workshop leaders. The work created is by, with and for young people.

We want to create unusual, challenging, relevant, high quality performance and we need the best young artists in the city to help us do that.

Many members of Performance Training go on to train at some of the top performing arts schools, colleges and universities in the country.

We programme and create an eclectic mix of work for performance in our smaller Barbican Theatre auditorium (140 seats) and the larger Plymouth Athenaeum (340 seats).

    Being organized and studying are challenging for me because I work from home. I discovered a tool at www.dissertation-service.org that will help me. I still have a hard time understanding some things since dissertation writers https://www.dissertation-service.org/ I can't sit in front of a computer and concentrate . I wish everyone success in their distant learning endeavors. Currently, be well and happy.

    I was really excited to attend the Barbican Theatre performance, as I love creative writing and I thought it would be interesting to see such art. For me as for the writer who are working for service where I produce reviews on different articles https://essaysprofessors.com/write-my-article-review-for-me.html also different events, sometimes books and films for students. But if to return to the performance, the atmosphere was electric and the theater was packed with people of all ages. The performance itself was visually stunning, with acrobats and dancers flying through the air and performing amazing feats of strength and dexterity. The music was also beautiful and added to the overall feeling of excitement. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and would definitely recommend this experience to others.
