Hand2Mouth (H2M) is a theatre ensemble that creates original work that is bold, accessible and inclusive. We support all forms of artistic expression and experimentation and seek to enrich the social fabric of society through our work.

Committed to fostering community through performance, engagement events and educational programs, H2M seeks genuine connections with audiences by speaking authentically from the voices and lives of our creative artists and our community.

H2M pushes for a kinder, more inclusive society where the public experiences the value and uniqueness of every life story, amplifying the voices of those historically silenced.

Mission & Vision

H2M is working to transform how and why theatre is made:

  • from presentational to reciprocal and participatory

  • from hierarchical to collective creation

  • from traditional theatre forms to new works created by a diverse range of artists

H2M aspires to elevate an inclusive, strong, and creative community by:

  • sharing our artistic methods and vision, as widely as possible

  • treating young people as our partners in discovery and change

  • creating authentic intergenerational and intersectional connections

  • recognizing all the art forms, artistic traditions, and discovery that enable full and important creative expression

H2M strives to lead the arts sector to create work that raises the value of arts engagement by elevating community visions and concerns and by recognizing all the art forms, artistic traditions, and discovery that enable full and important creative expression.

H2M holds its community of artists accountable through shared leadership and prioritizes racial justice, representation, and visibility of all groups through responsible generation and allocation of resources.
