About Us

New Tides Platform is an independent organisation established in 2015, exploring and encouraging cross-cultural exchanges and dialogue within contemporary performing arts. We aim to map theatrical, literary and cultural crossings in theatre and performance through creative projects, research, and outreach programmes.

​

New Tides Platform functions as an interface between research and the creative sector. As a collaborative venture we are working together with universities and research centres, theatres and theatre-makers, creative/ art organisations as well as publishers.

​

As facilitators of cultural projects and initiators of new research, we provide a forum for encounters, debates and interchanges, connecting academic research, contemporary theatre-making and communities of thinkers, makers and spectators.

​

Working as an outreach platform, we develop local, national and international collaborations and networks that are responsive to social and cultural changes within and outside contemporary theatre practices.

​

We are home of Migrant Dramaturgies Network, an international collective of theatre-makers, academics and organisations from across Europe, Australia, USA and Canada.
