The Vision

Our vision is of a performing arts sector where people of colour (particularly in cabaret, burlesque, variety and related genres) are valued, recognised, uplifted, celebrated and platformed as brilliant, vital, important and valued contributors to culture. We envisage a performing arts landscape where people of colour are given agency, empowerment and respect, and are not present only as fetishised, tokenised, exoticised or objectified stereotypes. We envisage a performing arts ecology where people of colour are not subject to racism or colourism – both on and offstage.
