About Us
Collective Encounters is a professional theatre company based at Liverpool Hope University. We use theatre as a tool for social change: engaging those on the margins of society, telling untold stories and tackling the local, national and international concerns of our time.
There are three main areas to our work:
- Workshops and Community Productions: we work with young people, homeless people and older people locally using theatre to build confidence, develop skills and explore the issues and ideas which matter to them.
- Professional Theatre: we mount exciting productions that explore pressing social and political concerns, transforming urban places into magical performance spaces
- International Research Laboratory: work which contributes to the wider national and international field of theatre for social change and spearheads best practice in the UK
