Impact Drama works in cycles — devising, performing, reflecting, and rebuilding. Here’s where we’ve been, and where we’re heading.
Our vision
Every rehearsal is a rehearsal for the world we want to live in.
Impact Drama exists in the space between the classroom and the youth centre — creating theatre that directly impacts behaviour and thinking in local communities and the wider world.
