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. Border Crossings Education was also resident at Central School of Speech and Drama in November-December 2008, devising a piece called Justice with second year students.

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.  (Image in collaboration with Polygon Arts).  The play commissioned in response, O Patrin (The Way), toured in autumn 2009.  Click here for more information.  In 2011, the second Origins Festival was accompanied by an extensive Participation and Learning programme around the Maori presence in the UK, with a particular focus on ceremony, mounted in collaboration with London schools, Ngati Ranana and Te Kohanga Reo, and funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
