ThickSkin

About

ThickSkin is an award-winning touring theatre company based in Manchester, working across live and digital platforms. We create bold and ambitious theatre; reaching and inspiring young, new and diverse audiences across the world through our distinctive physicality and cinematic style. We nurture talent across all areas of theatre-making, providing a springboard for artists who are ready to take a leap. Our work draws on many styles to create visceral and multi-layered performances that tell stories in new and inspiring ways. From mid-scale touring productions, to 360° virtual reality experiences, to immersive audio plays, we create work that is rooted in contemporary culture. During the pandemic ThickSkin reached over 15,000 people through digital engagement and more than 900 young people globally through digital learning resources, designed to support drama and dance students while schools were closed. Now more than ever, young and diverse artists and audiences can help shape a bright future for the arts. ThickSkin is committed to supporting young people and early-career artists through education, training and employment in the arts. We work hard to reach new audiences through our work and especially young people who have less opportunities or interest in going to the theatre.
