EARTHBEAT: WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO

Earthbeat is a theatre company consisting of 60 adults, all of whom have a learning disability. We aim to provide a service that offers a range of activities designed to develop confidence, raise self-esteem and to give a sense of purpose.



We have always striven to offer a highly professional service and central to our philosophy is the need to produce our shows at large mainstream theatres. Our current production, Joseph and his Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, will play at Middlesbrough Theatre, Darlington Civic Theatre and the Gala Theatre, Durham. As well as staging major productions we also offer a range of activities designed to develop drama skills and stimulate interest in theatre related arts. Such activities include dance training, drama workshops, film making, communication and voice development, costume making and scenery design.



Through our programme we hope to offer a broad range of opportunities for both training and personal fulfilment. We are also striving to make our service as inclusive as possible (whilst retaining the unique identity of the company) and hope to work alongside a variety of volunteers, schools, members of our local communities and other art and theatre groups. We currently operate for five days each week.
