PHOSPHOROS THEATRE

We make socially engaged performance with, for, and by refugees and asylum seekers. We make and hold space for those with forced migration backgrounds to voice and respond to their lived experience, taking charge of their narratives. We create touring productions, deliver arts work with refugees, train professionals and provide paid work, training & development for refugee professionals.
