Nonsuch:START
2017 - 2020
New Theatre for 11-18s in Nottingham

Revolutionary theatre experiences for 11-18s across Nottingham

Nonsuch:START was a three year programme to sought to bridge the gap between independent artists and theatre makers and teenagers in secondary schools and Further Education across Nottingham.

Overcoming a situation in which young people's access to live theatre was generally focussed on productions of exam set-texts or seasonal pantomimes, Nonsuch:START changed the playing field and directly commissioned or programmed work from cutting-edge artists based on the lived reality of young lives - taking very much a warts and all approach.

Themes of shows presented traversed key social issues including gender, expectations of the future, race, mental health and wellbeing; with each show presented in a supportive context with key links to signpost further support.

Nonsuch:START continues in spirit in our CENTRE STAGE programme.
