Our mission

Brixton House is a new cultural space, developed from the rich and influential history of Ovalhouse Theatre, which presents and collaborates with voices and perspectives not currently centred in mainstream funded culture.

We focus on theatrical stories told through theatre and multiple other art forms. We are committed to and representative of Brixton, and a place where the lively and diverse communities who live, work and visit this place, come together to engage with culture and build community.

We live by our values and they are at the core of everything we do.

Enterprising: We are a strong creative enterprise providing security and stability for creative freedom to be realised.

Welcoming: We will remain connected to our communities and treat everyone with kindness and respect. Brixton House is their home from home.

Nurturing: We foster a caring and compassionate environment that inspires to be and give their best.

Radical: We encourage people to be authentic, affirm their rights, be critical, bold, resolute and determined.

Collaborative: We are proactive in working with others, locally, nationally or internationally on a shared understanding of community enrichment.

Celebratory: We embody a spirit of hope.

Values: enterprising, welcoming, nurturing, radical, collaborative, celebratory
