About Phosphoros Theatre

Refugee stories are all around. Our vision is that these stories are amplified and heard. We collaborate with people with lived experience – as artists, audiences, activists, participants and partners, and invite the wider public to listen and advocate for change. We have a commitment to developing bold and informed arts practice rooted in care. We use this framework of care to explore and make visible solidarity, friendship and allyship, recognising the potential for radical care within and across refugee youth communities. We uphold ethical and artistic standards to our work, and have high expectations of what can be achieved as artists, advocates, leaders and partners. Our work benefits from collaboration and varied lived experience and results in surprising, beautiful, rebellious, intimate, responsible, illuminating and hopeful work, both on and off the stage. We will achieve this vision through our mission, which is to: Create performance that amplifies refugees’ voices on public platforms. Deliver ongoing theatre work with refugees and asylum seekers aged 15-25, with a particular focus on unaccompanied asylum seeking children. Engage refugee, recently arrived and other underserved audiences as new audiences to our work. We achieve our mission in these ways: We collaborate with refugee artists, leaders and youth workers to develop bold and informed arts practices rooted in care. We work with refugees to train professionals working in the refugee sector using experiential methods to better understand the refugee experience. We raise awareness of refugee issues on a wider societal level through advocacy and media work. We provide paid work, training and development opportunities for refugee artists and youth workers. We contribute to developing best practice in the arts and refugee sectors, through designing and delivering refugee-led, informed, creative training.
