Our values
Find out what drives us
Our values underpin our Vision and Mission.
We strive to hold these values in balance; bringing them to life for our stakeholders – our company, audiences, supporters and communities – in everything we produce and deliver.
InnovationÂ
We are pioneers in our art form. We are willing to be bold and take risks that often others don’t. We learn from play and failure. We adapt and stay relevant.

Inclusion
We welcome everyone. We listen to all voices and actively remove barriers to make our world as accessible as possible. We ask who is missing, seek them out and welcome them in.
