Good Chance began in the Calais Jungle refugee camp in 2015, when we built a geodesic dome that became a vibrant town-hall-style space for people living there to participate in theatre, arts and culture. 10 years on we want to keep supporting refugee artists and give young refugees a chance to shine.

The climate crisis, global conflict, human rights violations, natural disaster and persecution are all forcing more and more people to move, while at the same time anti-immigration rhetoric, racism and polarisation are on the rise. We believe the arts and theatre play a vital role in uniting people from diverse communities across divides, as it becomes ever more imperative to encourage greater empathy and nuance, and to re-humanise the conversation around contemporary migration.
With displaced artists centre-stage, we: Create outstanding major theatre productions with displaced artists, to shift the narrative about the big issues of our time. Create groundbreaking, large-scale public artworks in unexpected public places to connect audiences and communities and spark conversations across divides. Create opportunities for displaced artists to develop and in doing so, we help lead systemic change in the UK’s creative ecosystem
