Border Crossings is dedicated to developing new audiences for intercultural theatre. All of our projects are complemented by participation and learning programmes, allowing community groups to participate in and contribute to the artistic process. The results of this work are frequently fed into the productions themselves. The company enjoys a genuine dialogue with its wide and diverse audiences.
Border Crossings Education also arranges regular talks, discussions and panel events alongside theatre projects.
In 2005, as part of Patti Smith's Meltdown Festival on the South Bank, Border Crossings Education collaborated with South Bank Centre Education, Hyperjam and Lilian Baylis Technology School, Lambeth to present Uniforms and Hoodies, a multi-media presentation about injustice.
In 2007, Border Crossings Education provided training in devising intercultural theatre for Theatre Resource.
In 2008, Border Crossings Education collaborated with Aduna to offer training programmes to African artists living in London.
In 2009, Border Crossings Education worked with Polygon Arts and the Romany Theatre Company to create the Participation and Learning Programme for the Origins Festival.
