Immediate Theatre has worked with young people and communities in Hackney for 25 years. We believe in the transformative power of the arts to all our lives and the importance of giving people a voice. Our purpose is to involve communities in creative projects that inspire wellbeing, break down barriers and engage people in the process of personal and social change.

We work in partnership to develop work that supports our values of being:
Inclusive - working at the grassroots and celebrating diversity.
Interactive - involving communities throughout the creative process.
Imaginative - finding new ways to engage with vital issues

Our Objectives:
- To provide inspiring participatory arts programmes, enabling people to reach their potential and preventing exclusion and social isolation
- To creatively explore social issues, engaging people in the process of change and encouraging and enabling them to influence decision making
- To improve health and wellbeing and increasing life skills and employability through engagement in the arts

Immediate Theatre is committed to promoting equality, valuing diversity and fostering inclusivity in all areas of our work. We strive to be representative of the community in which we operate across all areas of the company, including Trustees and senior management, staff, freelance artists and facilitators, participants, partners and the wider network of associates.
