Allies in Activism * is today.

Allies in Activism is a one-day event taking place in Edinburgh led by Jack Hunter, Ellen Renton and Independent Arts Projects.

We very much hope that this event marks the beginning of something.

This event has been made possible with support from Birds of Paradise, Eden Court Theatre, Federation of Scottish Theatre, Imaginate, Magnetic North, National Theatre of Scotland, The Work Room & Unlimited.

* The title of the event came from an article in The Stage at the beginning of the year, where arts leaders were asked about the year ahead. Jenny Sealey (Graeae’s Artistic Director) was quoted “as saying: “For companies like Graeae, this past year has been fraught with Personal Independent Payments, Access to Work and Universal Credit. We need more allies in our activism. 2026 needs to be all-embracing to ensure the theatrical landscape is rich with diversity of people and narratives.“

IAP gratefully acknowledge support from
