About Us
Not Quite Fitting In
Notnow Collective is committed to developing a new model of contemporary performance that is radically inclusive of care and carers: by making thought-provoking and highly visual theatre work, through community collaborations, and by making our events relaxed and accessible.
Less Heard Voices
We put those who often do not have a voice centre stage, making caring roles more visible, exploring multilingual voices and the work of migrant artists in the UK.

Notnow Collective is a freelancer-led organisation.
