Supporting Artists Making Spaces Building Access In Sharing The Work

Too many people are shut out of the performing arts.

Diverse City is here to change that.

 

We create space for new leadership, deeper inclusion, and community-rooted relationships that transform the performing arts from the inside out. Diversity onstage, off stage and in the audience: because difference is human.

Culture is richer when more people get to shape it.

We create opportunities

For people to make, perform, experiment and develop their craft — from first creative experiences to professional careers.

We develop talent and leadership

Supporting artists to grow, take creative risks, make ambitious work and become the creative leaders of the future.

We make bold, accessible work

Creating and touring ambitious performance that puts access at its heart and brings different bodies, voices and experiences to our stages.

In the spotlight…

“Diverse City saw something in me and gave me the space and trust to learn… it changed my life.”

– Harry Basset, musician and composer

Our growing impact…

“For the arts to fairly reflect and shape society, all voices must be heard and all audiences welcomed.”

– Claire Hodgson, Joint Artistic Director

Let’s change the arts, for the better.

Whether you’re an artist, organisation, or a member of the public with a collaboration in mind, we want to hear from you.
