Public benefits
The direct benefits which flow from our purpose which is to provide accessible professional theatre and arts experiences for children and young people up to the age of 19, primarily in Northern Ireland include positive impacts on confidence, self-esteem, personal development (including understanding themselves and others better), social development
(including potential to challenge cultural prejudices and societal differences), and emotional development (including the development of empathy and emotional IQ). The direct benefits which flow from our purpose to promote creativity in the lives of children and young people is that engaging in creative activities can help develop intrinsic human qualities, such as communication, expression, identity, culture and imagination, helping children and young people to shape their individual, community and global identity.
What your organisation does
In 2018, Replay turned 30. Started from a spare bedroom in 1988, Replay has grown up to become one of the leading theatre companies in Northern Ireland. We make innovative, quality work for everyone under the age of 19: from the tiniest babies to the oldest teenagers, for disabled children and young people, for school groups, for families, for
festivals. We tour locally, nationally and internationally – taking shows to venues from Belfast to Broadway and lots of places in between, offering the same quality of show to world class theatres and local community centres. Why? Because we want to ignite imaginations through leading-edge theatre adventures created especially for our audiences. Our audience is at the heart of everything we do, and we shape each show through creative consultation with them. We believe that theatre for young audiences has all sorts of benefits – it’s fun, it asks questions and starts conversations, it encourages empathy, it creates a climate of aspiration, it speaks to children about their concerns and it promotes imagination. And we believe that every child has the right to imagine.
