Blackboard Theatre
|
Established in 2015, Blackboard Theatre creates work that responds to current human, social and political issues, aiming to inspire audiences to take further action and provoke social change.
The company’s debut production, Pedro and the Capitan by Mario Benedetti, was first staged with great success at VAULT Festival 2016. The production ran in partnership with NGO REDRESS and was funded by ACE and the Uruguayan Embassy. Stardust is Blackboard’s second production. It was created as part of an artist in residence program at CASA Festival, and the subsequent full production was funded by Arts Council England. It was awarded The People’s Choice Award at Vault Festival 2018 and enjoyed sold out performances and rave reviews at the Edinburgh Fringe 2018. Blackboard’s Artistic Director, Miguel Hernando Torres Umba, is a Colombian director, actor and physical theatre performer. |
