Artist Development
Supporting unheard voices, developing new artists and
building our ensemble
Seemia Theatre are committed to supporting the development of artists. Artists at the beginning of their new career, whatever their age, need inspiring and nurturing, guidance and support. As we have been supported by countless organisations and artists, we know it's the right time for us to pay this favour forward.
We believe in building a diverse arts industry by providing training, networking and mentoring opportunities to break down barriers that some aspiring or emerging artists face. We are particularly keen to provide opportunities for people with history of migration, who may have English as a Second Language, from Iranian, Middle Eastern and Latinx heritage.
If you or your organisation thinks you can work with Seemia to provide new opportunities for emerging artists, then get in touch via our contact sheet or via email.
