Collective Encounters

Collective Encounters is an arts charity specialising in theatre for social change. We use creativity to build power within people and communities who are directly impacted by poverty and inequality, and who experience barriers to inclusion, mainly in Liverpool City Region. We co-create participatory theatre and research to bring people together, tell stories that are often ignored, and provoke action towards positive change. We strengthen professional practice through a local and national training and development programme for artists, activists and academics.
