"It was a very happy environment and I had a great time after 80 days alone in the camp."

Last year’s ENCOUNTER group presented their final production, Seagulls & Tangerines, at the Marlowe Theatre Studio. The performance was devised by the participants, led by directors Francisca Stangel and Matthew Hahn and designed by Ana Inés Jabares-Pita.

‘You showed us that we could achieve what we want, we are better, more successful people than we thought we are.’

You can support us.
We run an ambitious programme of activities to make brilliant art and to support the creativity of all migrants. But we can’t do it without you. If you can, please pledge your support and make it possible for us to keep going.
Thank you!
