At Arcola Participation, we imagine and build a theatre that flourishes as a cultural and environmentally conscious centre inviting its diverse local and national community to participate in the arts.

Arcola Academy is an opportunity for young Hackney creatives aged 18-25 to develop, expand, and explore theatre and performance as a professional pathway.

Arcola Participation’s community performance companies provide free and low cost opportunities to marginalised groups to explore theatre practices as an ensemble, expand networks and build communities and be involved in high quality performance based projects.

A short history of Arcola Participation.

Through ArcolaLAB, we offer 26 weeks of free rehearsal space every year to ethnically diverse and refugee artists and theatre makers.
