"The self-belief engendered by support and recognition is in itself extremely useful in the early stages of setting up and sustaining a company". Jessica McKinnon, Kindle Theatre
The Optimists
The Optimists is China Plate's unique development opportunity for young professional makers.
Bridging the gap between training and the industry The Optimists supports the artistic careers of the future.
Following a highly successful pilot which ran in the West Midlands earlier this year we are delighted to be running bespoke versions of The Optimists programme with our partners at Rose Bruford, East 15 and the University of Birmingham.
