ABOUT CONTACT

Established in 1999, Contact is the national contemporary arts organisation that places young people’s decision-making and leadership at the heart of everything. Young people aged 13+ work alongside our staff in deciding our programme, making staff appointments and serving as Board members. The result is a remarkable, diverse and exciting programme for everyone – whatever your age.

As well as a wealth of young people’s creative and leadership activity, often with those least likely to engage with the arts, Contact commissions and co-produces around 7-10 new shows each year. These include innovative productions with young people, devised in collaboration with the likes of Stacy Makishi and Forced Entertainment, as well as national touring productions such as The Spalding Suite (Inua Ellams and Benji Reid, with Southbank Centre and Fuel), No Guts No Heart No Glory (Common Wealth) and Credible Likeable Superstar Role Model (Bryony Kimmings).

Based on Manchester’s vibrant Oxford Road Corridor, Contact develops young arts practitioners from first engagement to established professionals, boldly re-imagining how a theatre for young people should look and feel.
