https://www.instagram.com/dreamarts_rep/ - DreamArts Rep Company is a young theatre company creating original work that fuses theatre, film & rap. We collaborate with artists aged 14-25 from refugee backgrounds to devise, perform & tour fictional stories they create. Our 2025 tour reached over 1,000 live audience members, 20,000+ online viewers & 150 workshop participants. Partner theatres include York Theatre Royal, Birmingham Rep, The Crucible, Exeter Northcott & Marylebone Theatre. DreamArts Rep positions young refugees as artists first, empowering them to tell stories beyond the labels of "asylum-seeker" or "refugee." Our work celebrates creativity and individuality while fostering dialogue & belonging. Over 70% of audiences come from refugee backgrounds, and partner venues receive mentorship to build lasting engagement. What we do: Create theatre based in storytelling - developing characters, locations & narratives inspired by what young people are passionate about. Work with the young person in front of us and what they bring to the group. Create a safe space for young people to express themselves as artists. Provide access to a therapeutic team and support What we don't do: Make theatre about young people's experiences as refugees or their journeys to the UK. Ask young people to share personal experiences - sharing happens only at their pace. Label the group by their backgrounds - we present them as young artists.
