Open Clasp

What They Do

We aim to Change the World, One Play at a Time. The theatre we co-create calls for revolution. It ignites activism and places theatre at the heart of transforming the lives of women and girls.

We co-create with women excluded by theatre and society to create bold and urgent theatre for personal, social and political change.

We create spaces for women, inclusive of trans women and non -binary people, to be creative, to talk, discuss. Women gather as experts in their lived experience to highlight the issues and what needs to change.

We work with trans men while they transition to the point they feel a women only group is no longer the right space for them

Like many, we at Open Clasp Theatre Company are concerned about the divisive, hateful speech and actions we are hearing and witnessing across our country. While these feelings are not new for many, we recognise that this is a crucial moment to take a stand for what we believe is right. It is important that we do not become complacent in our mission to build the power of women and girls and drive positive change that reflects and celebrates the diversity of our communities.
