CLOSING THE GAP
Stratford East has a long and proud history of programming Black theatre, with a legacy of providing a platform for creatives and local East London communities from the Global Majority. Nonetheless, these groups continue to be underrepresented in the creative industries.
As such, CLOSING THE GAP, a Stratford East committee, was created in 2020. The committee is dedicated to levelling the playing field for Stratford East’s Black, Asian and Global Majority staff. Closing The Gap strives to increase staff sense of belonging and increase ethnic representation at senior management level.
Closing The Gap work to ensure that staff from the Global Majority are supported in their professional development, assisting colleagues as they progress into senior roles in the industry. Closing the Gap are striving towards making theatre a safer place for all people from the Global Majority.
