Programme Development Lead
Hi! I’m Tian Glasgow (he/him), a queer cis Black man. I grew up in London but have lived in Manchester since 2019. I founded the theatre company New Slang Productions in 2011. The thread running through my work is social concerns such as race and class and how it affects communities.
In early 2012, my debut production Silver Shores was staged at the Tristan Bates Theatre and a few years after that in 2015 my sophomore effort Changing State was staged at the Hen & Chickens Theatre. I wrote and directed both plays. I created Race Today across 2016 - 2019 which was supported by the Barbican Centre, Bernie Grant Arts Centre and Arts Council to give a platform for new emerging writers of colour to speak frankly about PoC experience via short vignettes and together create one piece of uncompromising but ultimately forward-looking art. Most recently, my piece Tomorrow is not Promised, which was developed at The Lowry with Sustained Theatre Up North, had its premiere at The Lowry in 2022 and then a debut Edinburgh Fringe run in summer 2023.
Outside this, I am a Senior Creative Producer of theatre, arts and music events and workshop facilitator. I have previously worked on Company Three's #BlackIs..., Fertility Fest, Walthamstow Garden Party, The Sick of the Fringe: Care and Destruction Festival, Love Supreme Festival and London Jazz Festival. I also teach acting at LIPA and previously ALRA.
