The Culture Project
Welcome to The Culture Project
This is a platform for everyone at New Adventures to learn how we can be more inclusive within our working environment. As a company, we strive to continually grow, learn and nourish new practices as we work together in this changing world.
What is Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Access at New Adventures? Why is it important? How can I play a role in its evolution? Click here to download a PDF where you can find all of these answers!
Every 3 months, we will share a 'The Culture Project - Edit' with you via email, this is a concise, online ‘magazine’ with insightful articles and interviews on topics within the Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Access field. We will also share book recommendations for further reading. You will also find them here on the website.
The latest Edit
In the 8th edition of The Culture Project, we take a heartfelt look into the lives of our amazing team members, sharing their invaluable experiences and helping us all understand what it’s truly like to walk in someone else’s shoes.
We’re kicking things off with Nate, our Social Media and Communications Officer. Nate takes us on a profound journey of self-discovery and acceptance, sharing his experiences as a transgender man. His story serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of being authentic and showing resilience in our lives.
Next up is Stephen Daly, our talented Communities Producer. Stephen opens up about his personal experiences with mental health, giving us a beautifully written insight into how we can navigate these challenges, especially in the creative arts industry. His perspective sheds light on an often-stigmatised topic, encouraging us to support one another.
And of course, we can’t forget about International Women’s Day! Movement director and choreographer, Anjali Mehra, shares her experiences as a South Asian woman working in the theatre industry in a new film created by Kaas. Our Director of Audience Engagement, Lucy Fox, shares her reflections on this year’s theme, Accelerate Action. Lucy highlights what this theme means to her in both her career and personal life, motivating us all to take meaningful steps towards equality.
