The partner Renaissance One
Renaissance One is an independent arts company based in the UK that produces, curates and galvanises literature. We promote high-quality literature of all kinds. We highlight global voices in contemporary Britain and the diverse arts and cultures that its writers, artists and communities produce. Our name is inspired by the Harlem Renaissance and the importance of rebirth and renewal. Since 1999, we have worked with leading and emerging voices including Bernardine Evaristo, Paul Beatty, Ali Smith, Gary Younge, Kerry Young, Caryl Philips, Shivanee Ramlochan, Kei Miller and the late Amiri Baraka. Through productions, creative business models, mentoring and artistic success as an organization led by people of colour, we push for greater diversity in the arts, and shape education programmes to inspire communities.

Over NAPK

NAPK staat voor Nederlandse Associatie voor Podiumkunsten en is de branchevereniging van de professionele podiumkunstproducenten in Nederland. De meeste van de aangesloten organisaties werken met overheidsfinanciering. De NAPK fungeert als werkgeversorganisatie en sluit namens de sector cao’s af met de vakbonden. Tegelijkertijd bevordert de NAPK de positionering van de podiumkunsten richting politiek, overheden en culturele fondsen. De dienstverlening richt zich dan ook primair op deze twee pijlers: arbeidszaken en positionering. Daarnaast bieden we onze leden de mogelijkheid om elkaar te ontmoeten en informatie en ervaringen uit te wisselen. Hiervoor organiseren we regelmatig diverse ledenbijeenkomsten.
