Diverse City works to make the performing arts accessible to all.
We particularly focus on young people from working class backgrounds, people with disabilities and ex offenders/youth at risk. We want the industry and arts training to resemble the real world. We don't want to keep training actors that look exactly like the ones we already have. It is vital that all people in society see themselves in the performing arts. The world of theatre, dance television and film should speak about all our lives and experience.
We have a two pronged approach:
We train the industry/higher education to recruit a more diverse range of people;
We create exceptional art that profiles the abilities of diverse groups.
