02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Grid Iron is committed to producing exciting new ensemble work across Scotland in a variety of spaces and locations, with a special commitment to accessibility, entertainment and innovation. We operate a cross-disciplinary, collaborative structure that allows the involvement of creative and production team at all stages of the process. We recognise the need for professionalism in business practice, an attitude embodied in the practical and artistic collaboration of producer and director. Through the work that we make we seek to promote self-reflection, inspire debate and entertain new and existing audiences, to remove social barriers that prevent people coming to the theatre and to engage with all sections of the community through performances and creative workshops. We are committed to working to the Fair work principles set out bey the Scottish Government. We are working towards Net Zero in 2030 through the Theatre Green Book.
