Smashing Times International Centre for the Arts and Equality, incorporating Smashing Times Theatre and Film Company and Smashing Times Youth Arts Ensemble, is dedicated to the promotion, study and practice of the arts and equality.The centre operates as a world class arts space and digital hub for artists, activists, communities and the general public across Ireland and internationally, providing a resource service and a training and networking agency in relation to using high quality creative processes and collaborative arts practice to promote human rights and equality for all. The work is underpinned by a rights-based approach and a commitment to artistic excellence and social engagement.The company was established in 1991 by a group of women actors, who met at the Focus Theatre, Dublin. These women were interested in challenging the elitist position that theatre sometimes holds in Irish society. Today the work takes place at local, national and transnational levels and is presented in a range of settings from the professional theatre space to on tour in schools and communities where we are invited to work with people collaboratively. As a leading professional arts organisation the company develops innovative, cutting edge, state of the art projects that promote social justice, gender equality and human rights through high quality artistic processes. The company creates radical work using a multi-disciplinary approach to performance involving a synthesis of the spoken word, physical theatre, movement, dance, music, visual art, video and film. Artistic processes are theatre and storytelling workshops, multi-disciplinary performances, post-show discussions, video and film, interviews, creative seminars symposiums, professional outreach and educational projects. The company promotes artistic creation, diversity and social change and merges art, culture and politics to interact and engage with contemporary society and the world we live in.
