Good Chance Theatre

Good Chance is a dynamic theatre company co-creating ground-breaking, heart-thumping, highly relevant “theatre that shakes hands with the world” (Sunday Times). We have a proven track record of devising and producing ambitious high-quality original theatre, art and participation programmes that support under-represented artists to create new work and access new platforms, help the widest range of audiences respond to our increasingly complex world, and give diverse participants across the country opportunities to take part and make connections. Good Chance is unique in the boldness, breadth and ambition of the work we create; in ways no other company has attempted, we have evidenced how we can achieve impact on both an epic scale and on an intimate individual level. We have delivered 550 events globally in the eight years since our inception, reached 1.1 million audience members and active participants, given paid employment to over 750 artists and bespoke 1-2-1 support and employment to 150 artists with lived experience of displacement and migration. What We Do Make Theatre - we co-create major theatrical productions with displaced artists. We work with displaced artists to write, create and produce groundbreaking theatre like The Jungle and The Walk With Amal; radical stories of hope and humanity that help us navigate the great challenge of living together now. Connect Communities - We create new kinds of communities, collaborating with artists from across the world and connecting people, stories and cultures. Whether we're building temporary Theatres of Hope in the form of large, geodesic domes in areas with high refugee populations, or co-creating a giant festival of Afghan kite flying, we create meaningful opportunities for newly arrived and local communities to meet and connect through the arts. Develop Artists - We create opportunities for displaced people to develop as artists providing intensive, long-term artistic and professional support.
