Theatre and Dance NI

At Theatre and Dance NI, we aspire to create a more diverse industry which is fully inclusive and enriched by ambition, professionalism and, most of all, creative collaboration. As Northern Ireland’s leading support organisation for the sector, we’re here to ensure that the theatre and dance industry continues to thrive – now and in the future!

Theatre and Dance NI offers a captioning service to increase access to the performing arts for deaf or hard of hearing audience members. Venues, festivals and production companies within Northern Ireland are able to hire Theatre and Dance NI’s captioning equipment for theatre and live performances.

As part of our commitment to enhancing the skills of those working in the theatre and dance sector, Theatre and Dance NI offers a range of training opportunities throughout the year. You can find out more about what’s currently available over on our News & Opportunities section on our website.

At Theatre and Dance NI, we’re committed to working with our members to raise awareness of the value and benefits delivered by theatre and dance in Northern Ireland. We also aim to increase the level of representation provided for the local sector by developing relationships with statutory bodies, local authorities, and private and voluntary organisations. In this way, we can better influence policy and funding decisions relating to the sector, helping to improve working conditions and to lay a more solid foundation for the future.
