About | Our Approach
Watermans is a multi-disciplinary Arts Centre in Brentford serving the London Borough of Hounslow, the neighbouring boroughs and the wider community of West London.
The main strands of activity are:
- Asian Arts, mainly performing arts in the theatre but stretching across all of the other activities
- New Media Arts
- Participative Arts including drama workshops and dance
- Independent Cinema aimed at a variety of audiences including local film goers, film enthusiasts and families
- A regular programme of Comedy acts and performances
- Childrens shows and activities including a big Christmas show
We aim to engage with the community in as many ways as possible, not just in expecting them to pay to come and see something. For example our Participative Arts programme is very significant as we place great importance on providing opportunities for young people in particular, to have the opportunity to express themselves.
Watermans has a strong community focus and many people who come to Watermans feel it is ‘theirs'. It is progressive with a contemporary perspective that is constantly evolving. It aims to be seen as inclusive, providing easy access and particularly welcoming to people who feel most excluded like refugee groups, disabled people, people with young children and those with learning difficulties or mental health issues
We hope you find Watermans welcoming, surprising, interesting and open-minded
