Communities
Seenaryo co-creates collaborative, powerful and imaginative theatre in partnership with organisations deeply rooted in the communities they serve. The original plays put participants at the heart of the creative process, giving them a space to collectively share and explore their stories and advocate for their rights. We also train and fund our adult participants to become theatre facilitators themselves.
Our theatre strands
-
Seenaryo Studios
Our flagship theatre productions are led by professional theatre makers and developed over the course of several months. They tour nationally, and sometimes internationally.
-
Seenaryo Cycles
Shows created with participants over regular cycles, giving the ensemble a chance to develop over time. We work in collaboration with local partners with whom we have a long-term relationship.
-
Seenaryo Showbuilds
All-singing, all-dancing productions that are developed intensively over one or two weeks, often in refugee camps or outdoors in the summer. The participants write and perform their own songs and paint their own sets.
-
Seenaryo Satellites
Plays directed independently by graduates of Seenaryo theatre projects, often as part of our Theatre Leadership Training. We give them a small budget to run a project in their own community.
-
Theatre Leadership Training
Our training aims to establish a culture of creativity for the long-term. We train and fund former youth and women participants to run their own theatre projects in their communities.
