Performers Without Borders Information

Performers Without Borders (PWB) works towards giving disadvantaged children the opportunity to explore their potential. We understand that, through teaching performance skills an individual's learning, creativity and team working skills are developed. Further, it helps to build confidence, develop empowerment and overcome social barriers. PWB’s methodology of following the tradition of travelling show, and the principle of fostering long-term relationships, is ideal in not only engaging children, but also ensuring community trust in the project. PWB envisages a world where all children are able to realise their full potential, and have an understanding of different cultures, the complexity of development issues and the importance of personal action. PWB will work to establish performance schools around the world, which will work in their communities with disadvantaged children. These schools will act as means by which international development issues are explored and cross cultural understanding is promoted.
