OUR PARTNERS
The Genesis Foundation has been invigorating the performing and visual arts in the UK for over 25 years. Through durable, strategic partnerships, they nurture exceptionally talented artists and creative professionals from a diversity of backgrounds at every stage of their career. By ensuring their access to vital resources, training, mentoring, and networks, the Genesis Foundation plays a distinctive role in creating the cultural memory of tomorrow. The Genesis Foundation was our first partner, and it remains our primary funder. Their support for the Genesis Theatre Design Programme is enhanced by additional funding from
the James Family Charitable Trust.
The National Theatre offers in-kind support, allowing our trainees access to their rehearsals, technical departments and design studio. The idea is for each trainee to be taught by specialists, who are working at the highest end of their respective disciplines.

Mulberry University Technical College offers us the physical resources that we need: a design studio, which is our main base, along with the use of a theatre, technical equipment and a costume workshop. Our trainees will also be able to try out live staging and clothing ideas with Mulberry’s Production Arts Academy.
Advanced costume study takes place at The School of Historical Dress. Professor Jenny Tiramani, Melanie Braun and Claire Thornton teach through evidence-based reality of how people dressed.
