Who We Work With

Our resident partners here in Birmingham are Birmingham Royal Ballet and DanceXchange. Together we jointly secured significant public and private funding for our award-winning redevelopment completed between 1999 and 2001.

This grew the theatre complex by 40% adding both the Jerwood Centre for the treatment of dance injuries and the Patrick Centre for the Performing Arts.

We also have very strong relationships with Welsh National Opera, all the major touring producers (including Sir Cameron Mackintosh, David Ian, Stage Entertainment, Playful Productions, Bill Kenwright, Littlestar), Off The Kerb, Sadler’s Wells and Matthew Bourne’s company, the Dance Consortium, Music & Lyrics and we work closely with Qdos on our annual Pantomime.
