Who are we?

New Strides is an innovative theatre company created by arts professionals who have extensive up-to-the-minute community drama experience. We believe that theatre belongs to everyone and our artistic policy is to take drama to all sections of society as far as we possibly can. Our work is new, exciting, creative and accessible.

What do we provide?

* Drama workshops
* Performances
* Drama Project Facilitation
* Drama Consultation & Assistance

Who is it for?

Our firm belief that drama is for all means that we can create and adapt our work to meet the needs of many different groups and organisations.

Our performances are entertaining and accessible, and participants need have no drama experience to partake in our workshop sessions.

Some examples of people we have previously worked with are:

* Schools
* Young people who have recently left the care system
* Students
* Young offenders
* Arts professionals
* Youth groups
* Women’s groups

Our work is open to people from any background, any age, gender, physical or mental ability, sexuality, race or religion. We offer full consultation with every interested organisation to create the right experience for your group.

Why Drama?

Drama is a powerful tool which can be used to:

* Highlight important issues in an entertaining way
* Encourage creativity
* Enhance self-esteem
* Encourage greater self-awareness
* Release inhibitions
* Encourage unity, cooperation and trust

Where do we go?

New Strides has offices in London, Edinburgh and Belfast. We tour as much of the UK as we can throughout the year and make a point of attending areas that usually have less access to the arts.

What is our pricing policy?

We offer high quality drama experiences at affordable prices. In cases where an organisation has little or no finance, we are happy to work with them towards obtaining the necessary funding.

How do I book?

By telephone, email or post. All our contact details are available on this site.
