About
tiata fahodzi

tiata fahodzi produces theatre that is fearless for a Britain of today; rich with languages, races, cultures and identities.

​

We make theatre that looks around and looks forward, with social change the driving force behind what we do; we are on a mission to tell contemporary stories in modern and innovative ways, celebrating characters and audiences defined not by their diversity, but by their humanity. 

​

tiata fahdozi is an engine room for so many of the conversations that are currently being had about British African heritage identity, how to make the industry inside and out a more dynamic and inclusive place for everyone. We want to see an Arts and Cultural ecology in Britain where everyone feels invited and welcome to participate. 

​

A culture where all experiences – including the contemporary British African heritage experience - is celebrated, and we see ourselves in our full complexity and joy.

"...gorgeous theatre from a truly diverse company."
