The AGeNCY X KILN THeATRe

As part of Brent 2020, London Borough of Culture, a Mayor of London initiative, Kiln Theatre’s The Agency was a scheme to support young Brent-based entrepreneurs between 15-25 years old to develop ideas for social change in their area, turning their passion into a project. Using their needs and desires, research into their local community, and support from artists and local networks, in 2020 23 Agents from Brent created brand new ideas as potential business plans.

The Agency was originally developed by the Brazilian theatremaker, activist and journalist Marcus Faustini in the favelas of Rio De Janeiro. The programme was brought to the UK through a partnership between Battersea Arts Centre (BAC), Contact and People Palace Projects (PPP).
