Creative Action
for Social Change.
Through performance, storytelling, poetry, music, masks, and visual arts, we provide inspiring programmes that invite creativity, personal development, and platform the voices of seldom heard communities to stimulate debate and deeper understanding.
We specialise in working with people affected by the Criminal Justice System, as well as with local community groups and a wide range of professional teams.
BearFace Theatre believes in creative action for social change and uses Applied Theatre and a wide range of creative arts to deliver bespoke multi-arts based programmes.
