“Engaging with theatre at Contact betters the health of young people, theatre there is seen as a form of wellness and kindness is valued above all . In an industry where often cruelty and negligence is very common, Contact is a solace and a sanctuary for artists at an embryonic phase. It’s where dreams go to blossom and lifelong collaborators meet. The past decade at Contact has seen alumni playwrights, actors and directors go on to create award winning cinema and tv that has defined British entertainment. It's a prestigious honour to be part of the alumni that once resided and trained at one of the coolest theatres in the country. Every young person that walks through those doors, always finds their way back. There's something for everyone at Contact, you just need to be willing to give everything a go.”
