Art that does the heavy lifting
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.
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.
The issues we put on stage
Our programmes sensitise, advocate and empower around the themes that shape young lives in western Kenya.
SRH & HIV/AIDS
Awareness and advocacy on sexual reproductive health and HIV/AIDS.
Human rights & democracy
Civic education and advocacy for rights, democracy and accountability.
Peace, security & CVE
Countering violent extremism and building cohesion through dialogue.
Women empowerment
Leadership, devolution and the place of women in governance.
Climate & environment
Environmental sensitisation and climate-action programmes.
Agriculture & food security
Promoting resilient livelihoods and food security.
Drugs & substance abuse
Prevention and honest conversation around substance abuse.
Digital literacy & inclusion
Closing the digital divide for young people and communities.
From brief to standing ovation
A simple, transparent process that keeps the community — and your goals — at the centre.
Listen & scope
We start with a free call to understand your audience, message and what success looks like.
Co-create
Our artists craft authentic scripts, dances and visuals in the languages and idioms your community trusts.
Stage & mobilise
We perform where the people are — markets, schools, forums and the airwaves — and get the crowd talking.
Measure & follow up
We capture reach and reaction, share what we learned and plan the next step with you.
