About us
Rifco Arts develops and creates vibrant, accessible and high quality theatre to encourage and engage new and diverse audiences. Our work reflects and celebrates the contemporary British Asian experience with a focus on artistic excellence, new writing and ambitious programming
Rifco Arts has been pushing the boundaries and introducing a new kind of audience to the world of theatre both nationally and internationally for the past 12 years, which reflects and celebrates the contemporary multicultural world we live in; enticing, educating and engaging new audiences. We want to bring together a modern diverse community to celebrate the contemporary British Asian experience and cultural fusions in our society. We believe in Artist Development; working with new writers, nurturing young artists and creating new and exciting work; involving the community at every step of the way. All this, combined with all the glitz and glamour you would expect from a British Asian Theatre Company makes Rifco Arts unique.
As a multicultural theatre company we aim to:
- Develop exciting and innovative work through participation with the Community; our audience development scheme and our Arts Ambassadors programme
- Develop new writing, new talent and emerging artists through our Artist Development Scheme
- Tour relevant, entertaining and thought provoking theatre locally, nationally and internationally
- Explore the synergy between British Asians and their culture and heritage
- Develop new audiences that reflect the rich diversity of our society and share this knowledge with our partners
