The Gate brings people together from across the world to engage with theatre, performance, art and ideas. Founded in 1979 to stage ground-breaking international plays, the Gate has become a platform for radical artists, writers and directors from across the globe: known for its transformative ability to push the boundaries of what theatre is and could be. It is a place where creatives have been gathering to imagine storytelling differently, and where experimental thinking is front and centre. At a time when the world and our own nation grow increasingly insular, we believe it is important to foster communication and understanding across borders, across languages, across cultures. The Gate works with artists in the UK to tell stories from beyond our borders, celebrating the multiplicity of identity within our artists and our audiences through the power of theatre. As a home for new voices and new ideas, we also have a reputation as a training theatre. Gate shows enable artists to take risks and to develop and advance their own talent, and their own professional journey, by making high quality work that moves the artform and the sector forward. The monumental events of the pandemic have drastically changed the theatre landscape and ecology, with its effects being keenly felt through unpredictable audience behaviour, and rising costs. As the nation navigates the cost-of-living crisis, the arts continue to face devastating funding cuts and challenges, including the withdrawal of much local council arts provision and the increasing competition for resources across trusts and foundations At the Gate, we have used this moment of transition to interrogate both our founding mission and what the needs of the sector are today. The Gate is now operating as a theatre producer as opposed to a venue, and seeks collaborations and partnerships in a variety of places to continue championing international voices through theatre. The Executive Director is also the Chief Executive, with responsibility for the organisational and financial health of the Gate, securing funding for programme and working closely with the Artistic team to ensure the art is kept at the heart of our strategy.
