Trybe Futures

For artists emerging from the company who are ready to lead. Developing their own work, leading workshops, and shaping productions within the organisation.

Through Trybe Futures, we support artists emerging from the company who are now ready to lead. It’s a space for those who have come through Trybe to step into creative leadership, developing their own work, leading workshops, and shaping productions within the organisation.

This includes the development of associate artists, such as Richard Adetunji, whose play Ego’s Killing the Mandem was first developed through an R&D at the National Theatre, with dramaturgical support from Ola Animashawun. The production went on to a three-day sold-out run at the Collective Fringe Festival at Collective Acting Studio, and continues its development, with new work also being developed in collaboration with Jerome Scott.

The programme has also supported artists such as Warren Graham, who has delivered workshops in boxing gyms as part of external productions, Victor Masha Junior, who undertook a work placement performing in Sitting In Limbo at Watford Palace Theatre, and Tobi King Bakare, whose critically acclaimed play Before I Go, nominated for two Black British Theatre Awards, featured Trybe House Theatre as collaborators at Brixton House. All three were among Trybe House Theatre’s first members.

Our alumni company is made up of members over the age of 26 who have come through the programme and now work with us in a more professional capacity. This includes employment opportunities, from facilitating in schools and working on productions to accessing casting opportunities across theatre, film, television, and commercials.

We also support current members to access paid opportunities as part of their journey with Trybe House Theatre. Recent examples include members being put forward for casting and selected for a UK-wide Spotify campaign, undertaking paid marketing placements where they created their own documentary work, and returning to their former colleges to lead co-designed programmes.

We believe in investing in the futures of both past and present members, creating clear pathways into the creative industries and helping to normalise access, representation, and opportunity.

Track Record

Members have gone on to secure places at leading drama schools and conservatoires, including RADA, LAMDA, Mountview, Guildhall, and Juilliard.

Alongside this, members have created award-winning short films, produced original work, and made theatre debuts at venues including the National Theatre, Theatre Royal Stratford East, the RSC, and Shakespeare’s Globe. Many are now working across the industry, building careers and representing themselves on their own terms.

Our intent

Aims

  • Equip participants with the skills, knowledge and networks to pursue creative careers

Between sessions, participants complete placement hours with one of our industry partners and receive 1-to-1 mentoring from a THT associate artist or alumni.

  • At least 30 hours of industry placement experience
  • A collaborative final project presented to an invited audience

Voices

In their own words

Trybe Futures didn't just teach me about the industry, it showed me I already had what it takes. Philip and the team opened doors I didn't even know existed. I'm now working professionally in theatre.
