Good Chance

Description

Good Chance is a theatre and arts charity that places displaced artists centre stage to create theatre and public artwork that brings people together around urgent contemporary issues, including migration, the climate crisis and polarisation. Founded in 2015 in the Calais "Jungle" refugee camp, where two playwrights built a dome theatre offering a space of welcome and creative expression, the company has grown into an international organisation that makes major theatrical productions (such as The Jungle, Kyoto and A Grain of Sand), creates public artworks and festivals connecting newly arrived and local communities, and runs long-term artist-development programmes (paid placements, poetry fellowships, visual art commissions and trauma-informed creative workshops) for people with lived experience of displacement. Its work pursues the ongoing question of how people can live together now.
