Creating Routes 2025
Creating Routes is back for 2025, with over a decade of proven success giving Global Majority* facilitators the tools they need to be effective in their chosen path.
Creating Routes is a FREE, practical, facilitator training programme for Global Majority* theatre makers, aged 18+.
Our aim is to provide an alternative route into entering the sector, one that strikes a balance between the practical and the theoretical. Creating Routes trainees get the opportunity to develop the knowledge, skills and experience needed to gain employment in Participatory Arts sector.
Creating Routes Alumni have gone on to work with: Talawa, EEA, London Bubble Theatre Company, Young Vic, Birmingham REP, Imperial War Museum, Theatre Royal Stratford East, and Battersea Arts Centre.
We actively welcome applicants who identify as LGBTQ+, Disabled and people living in the boroughs of Croydon and Greenwich.
This programme is a collaboration between Talawa Theatre Company, Emergency Exit Arts (EEA) and Goldsmiths, University of London. As a collective we have come together to help to diversify the participatory arts sector with artists from different cultural backgrounds.
