Tell us the change you want to see, and we’ll build the performance that makes people feel it. From a single roadshow to a full mentorship programme, here’s how we put the arts to work.
Core services
Four ways to work with us
Each one is grounded in a decade of stagecraft and a deep knowledge of the communities we serve.
Community theatre & PET/MAGNET
Participatory and magnet theatre that pulls a crowd, opens dialogue and helps communities rehearse new ways of acting on tough issues — from SRH to gender-based violence.
Advocacy roadshows & events
High-energy roadshows, dances and spoken-word sets that take your message into markets, schools and neighbourhoods — plus full event management when you need it.
A.T.E Faculty mentorship
Technical training in performing arts, photography and videography for school drama teams, partner staff and young artists ready to turn talent into a profession.
Film, photography & branding
Radio dramas, film production and advertising, visual arts, branding and professional videography and photography that give your campaign a polished, lasting voice.
