Class Assembly is a national strand of RTYDS’ Fair Play programme aimed at tackling socio-economic inequity in theatre. It is an artist-centred model designed to inform and influence the cultural sector. Building on the learnings and success of Class Assembly Liverpool and Bradford, we want to create a further digital life for this work, bringing organisations, artists and funders into the class conversation.
We hope this work will enable the sector to monitor the evolving dialogue, witness the impact, and actively take part in meaningful discussions around class. It is designed to inspire, provoke and galvanise.
With Class Assembly Legacy we have commissioned new audio productions of the work shared at both Class Assembly Liverpool and Bradford. Gobshite by Daneka Etchells, Scrounger by Felix Mufti, In and Out the Money by Nicole Joseph and Art is a Fart by Kamal Kaan all give a searing and heartfelt picture of navigating a creative career as a working-class artist.
