GATEWAYS

What is GATEWAYS?

At the Gate Theatre, we aim to cultivate an environment where a broader range of communities can call this space their own. We want people to feel empowered by their engagement with us and we aim to foster and continually develop strong and innovative partnerships with community, arts, education, and other organisations locally and nationally.

GATEWAYS is the result of a consultation process involving the Gate, community groups, schools, both local and across the country, and local community leaders. Since the beginning of 2023, the Gate has invited groups into the theatre for tours and workshops and asked how it can partner and enhance their lives.

With its new priority of civic accessibility, the Gate aims to become a vital part of the local social fabric and enhance its impact through and beyond its productions whilst also creating new audiences for the future. The main target groups for GATEWAYS are schools, under-represented/ marginalised groups and, importantly, the local residents and community organisations of Dublin’s North Inner City (DNIC).

Through GATEWAYS the Gate provides Dublin 1 and beyond with multi-faceted opportunities for personal, social and artistic development.  We have fostered key partnerships with local schools and organisations, offering members of the community year-round workshop programmes and access to the theatre to encourage interest and gather feedback that will continue to inform the structure of our programme.
