Celebrating 35 years of Tamasha
From championing Global Majority artists to producing award-winning productions, we’re proud of our journey. We’ve nurtured rising stars through our Developing Artists Programme, pioneered digital theatre, and pushed boundaries in storytelling.
But the challenges ahead are real, with arts funding and access still limited for many. Help us continue our legacy and create change.
SHIFT – A commitment to moving forward Global storytelling in the UK
A call-to-collective action to celebrate how global perspectives on our national narrative is vital for British theatre. SHIFT aims to redress the balance around commissioning and dramaturgical practices in the sector that have historically been nurtured through a Eurocentric lens. In partnership with Bristol Old Vic, Beyond Face and Belgrade Theatre, Coventry. Funded by the Paul Hamlyn Foundation.
Tamasha’s call to action: we must decolonise the theatre sector

About Tamasha
We’re a home for emerging and established artists from the global majority. A theatre company that’s been championing lesser heard voices and stories since 1989.
“The work of Tamasha is vital. Their mission of creating a home for a new generation of artists from the Global Majority is a leading light within our industry. The confidence, tenacity and generosity with which the company articulate their vision and values is resolute and galvanising. We need to ensure support at the highest level for their work if we are to ensure the next generation of representative talent are truly engaged, challenged and championed.”
