About Ardent Theatre Company

BRINGING OUTSIDERS IN OUR VISION Theatre is a place where no one feels like an outsider. OUR MISSION We achieve this through the stories we choose to tell, the people we employ to tell them and the audience we engage to experience them. We are committed to producing theatre that speaks about the world we live in; both newly commissioned writing and established text with a contemporary relevance. Our work always enables us to have a voice within the mainstream theatre scene or engages audiences on a grassroots, national level. Through our artistic development programme and casting policy we support the careers of young, recently trained artists from outside London. We work with non-theatre organisations that share similar ambitions to take a sector-wide approach to giving voice to those who struggle to be heard. OUR VALUES We believe theatre should be for everyone, irrespective of their background or economic circumstances. We believe artists deserve fair pay based on industry-recognised rates. We believe theatre can be a vehicle for change, where we challenge or deepen our understanding of the world. We believe in bringing outsiders in. There are 4 core activities we aim to deliver each year to fulfil our vision: ARDENT8: a 12-month artist development programme offered to 8 recent acting graduates from colleges based outside of London in which they gain the skills, knowledge, contacts, guidance and CV credits to pursue a career in performing. PRODUCTIONS: a combination of pop-up, quick responsive theatre performance and longer runs of plays that speak about the world from an outsider’s perspective. PLAY READINGS: similar, relevant work that is either new, forgotten or needs to be heard. IN CONVERSATION: a platform for unheard voices - a person who has been in the industry for many years but who has not had a light shone on them and their work.
