As the industry recovers from the impact of Covid-19, we’re looking for ways to rebuild the arts into a fairer, more equal shape.  This means not just ensuring equality doesn’t backslide, but actively pursuing better representation  from boardrooms, to backstage, to centrestage.

We think the best way to make lasting change is to embed best practice everywhere we can. Change doesn’t come through a training day, although those can be useful too, but through creating something in a new way, learning good practice directly, by implementing it. If you work with us, you’ll have the confidence to uphold high standards for representation and equality in everything you create.

Co-producing with Diverse City can help you realise your ambitions for access and representation in your creative processes, programming, casting and staffing, while also making a bold, brilliant piece of work.

Our convictions feature in everything we produce. Our show Mid Life smashed taboos surrounding menopause to sell-out, joyous houses at Bristol Old Vic and Barbican. The show exemplified how BSL, Audio Description and cast diversity can be woven into the creation of the show.

This year, Extraordinary Bodies has been touring Human, a show that germinated from the company’s experiences of lockdown. Every audience member is experiences the show though headphones, so they can benefit from the full range of music and sound design the production offers.
