About Half Moon

For our latest news and updates, please click here
Established in 1990, Half Moon is a local organisation with a national remit, based in Tower Hamlets, East London. The company gives young people from birth to 18 an opportunity to experience the best in young people's theatre, both as a participant and as an audience member. The company places an emphasis on engaging participants who often feel excluded from arts activity, such as those from BME communities, Deaf and disabled people, or those excluded due to socio-economic circumstance. In 2010/11 we engaged with around 25,000 people.

There is a synergy between Half Moon's participatory and professional theatre programmes, which have equal status and are mutually enriching. The company specialises in new writing and artform development, involving artists who are under represented in the sector and working collaboratively with a wide range of partners. Half Moon's expertise is in supporting artists and young people at every stage of their creative development, providing a gateway to engagement, offering pathways for progression and experimentation, then disseminating outcomes with the wider cultural sector, through performances, touring productions, open dialogue and continuing professional development.
Half Moon is a National Portfolio Organisation of Arts Council England and receives regular funding from Tower Hamlets (Arts and Leisure, and Education through THAMES), with further financial support from many trusts and foundations and commercial sources.
