About Us

 

Sixth Sense is passionate about theatre and young people.

Our mission is to produce high quality contemporary theatre that helps young people to fulfil their potential.

In order to fulfil this mission, we aim to:

• Produce professional theatre for young people

• Produce theatre projects which encourage young people to participate in and lead the theatre making process.

• Identify those young people who are not yet involved in theatre activities and create opportunities for them to engage with projects.

• Develop theatre as an artform by finding new ways of working

• Work in alliance with organisations sharing Sixth Sense's values and interests

• Participate in relevant debates about young people's issues and theatre

• Encourage the development of both the organisation and those who work with us through the best management practices

• Create the right organisational structure to enable these aims to happen.

Sixth Sense aspires to the following values throughout its work:

• Equality of Opportunity - treating individuals with respect and dignity and valuing difference

• Excellence - both in artistic and management practice

• Access- extending access and building audiences

• Accountability - to our stakeholders

• Flexibility - to allow Sixth Sense to adapt and develop

• Integrity - striving to work ethically at all times

• Sustainability - as an organisation and a service provider

Meet the Board 

Mark Powell (Chair), Gerry Hannon (Treasurer), Di Harris, Deryck Newland, Sue Welsh, Louise Dancy, Pete Horwat and Isobel Thompson.

These are the people who are legally responsible for the company and its activities. They do this for free! How wierd! However, they are fine people who give fantastic support to the staff and advise them on best practice and policies. We have to say nice things about them because they set our rates of pay.
