Open Clasp Theatre Company
We aim to Change the World, One Play at a Time. The theatre we co-create calls for revolution. It ignites activism and places theatre at the heart of transforming the lives of women and girls. We co-create with women excluded by theatre and society to create bold and urgent theatre for personal, social and political change.
We create spaces for women, inclusive of trans women and non -binary people, to be creative, to talk, discuss. Women gather as experts in their lived experience to highlight the issues and what needs to change.
Our live theatre, events and films highlight social justice issues, giving a voice to the women who collaborated with and enabling new audiences to contribute to debate. The change we want can feel out of reach and hopeless, but theatre can and does change lives. It creates empathy.
Our high-quality theatre influences public opinion, trains service providers, and influences policy debates. Our work is supported by our collaborators and the partnerships we nurture in the women’s service sector, community organisations and academia.
