Our Vision

To shape an equitable world through theatrical experiences that foster radical empathy and intercultural exchange.

Our Mission

Encounter Theatre disrupts the status quo by creating bold, inclusive theatre that challenges perspectives and sparks urgent cultural dialogue.

 

Bringing people together through theatre that celebrates diversity, identity, and belonging.

Encounter Theatre is an independent theatre company based in Noongar Boodjar. Our work is deeply embedded in the communities we serve, empowering CaLD and First Nations artists to shape the stories we tell, ensuring that all voices are heard, and that theatre remains a catalyst for meaningful change.

This work is impossible without the generous support of people like you. Help us to continue making invisible stories visible by making a donation today. Read more ➜

Art is not a product, but a practice. A way of being. A way of becoming.

This is the work we are called to. This is Encounter.
