20 Stories High began its life 18 years ago as an organisation dedicated to making theatre with (and for) culturally diverse, working-class young people in many contexts and settings.
They have gone through many changes over this time, adapting and evolving to meet the needs of audiences and participants in Liverpool and nationally.
The events over the last few years have been a challenge for the wider cultural sector, and the individuals involved. They know that the pandemic has disproportionately affected many young people, people from the Global Majority, and Deaf, Disabled, and neurodivergent people, therefore having a direct impact on many of our participants, audiences, and team members.
They recognise and understand first-hand the barriers that exist as we begin to re-emerge in a changing world. Their focus is to support these individuals and groups to continue to engage with equitable creative opportunities in a way that feels safe and inclusive.
20 Stories High are now embarking on a new chapter: exploring what their role is within the theatre sector, co-creating with participants and emerging artists, as well as experienced theatre-makers. They are exploring what theatre and participatory projects look like in different spaces, pushing ourselves creatively, redefining what it means to be an activist organisation, and placing wellbeing at the heart of everything we do.
They are looking for a Communications & Campaigns Coordinator who can bring new ideas, energy and creativity to this new role – someone who shares their values, mission, ambition and is committed to working with young audiences and participants.
