45North, led by Creative Director Jessica McVay and Creative Producers Emily Carewe and Charlie Lees-Massey, today announced that they will be joining Theatre503 as Associate Company.
Alongside Artistic Director Lisa Spirling and Executive Director Andrew Shepherd, 45North will work towards ensuring future work at Theatre503 is more accessible for both creatives and audiences, creating new connections between the local community and Theatre503 and working together to open the doors to audiences who may not have had access before.
Alongside championing and producing work from majority women and non-binary artists, 45North regularly runs workshops and events on inclusive practice for freelance creatives.
As part of their associateship they have made a number of commitments including widening engagement with the local community as audience and participants around Theatre503’s productions with particular focus on underrepresented groups and embedding creative access into Theatre503’s year-round programme.
Their associateship with Theatre503 will last at least one year and follows a previous collaboration on Gillian Greer’s MEAT, produced by 45North at Theatre503 in February 2020.
