Purpose of the Fence

The Fence was founded on the core principles of:

• the importance of the playwright
• that in practice, diversity and mobility are the same thing
• and that through engagement with others our own work develops.

The network exists as a space to think, to be and to do.

The Fence aims to open up routes to work opportunities for playwrights seeking to extend their work beyond their own national and infrastructural boundaries.

The founding aim was to create a network that was based primarily on relationships, rather than scripts and translations, that would enable people to come together and work out for themselves what they wanted to do together.
