Rites Of Passage Productions

Rites of Passage Productions Ltd, (ROPP) is a fresh and creative production house, based in Birmingham UK, that specialise in Drama, Theatre, & Film Production.

At the heart of our work we engage with marginalised communities and individuals, the education sector and with other institutions whilst working creatively towards transformation, Social change, cultural competency and the celebration of heritage.

National statistics and research show that a growing number of younger individuals especially from BAME communities, to name a few, are failing at school, falling into the Criminal justice system and are turning to alternative lifestyles that not only exclude them from society, but place them into categories at the mercy of social, political and media representation.

We at ROPP strongly believe that these representations often neglect or are ignorant towards the root causes of the deep seated issues that lead to some of the outcomes mentioned above. With creative expression, injustice, hope, achievement and transformation as key stimuli, ROPP desire to counter act and explore the growing trend of low self-concept, dis-empowerment, social exclusion and systematic failure through the artistic services, programs and products we produce, offer and deliver.

“Community & Education”-
Grounded within traditions of ritual, applied and transformative theatre, as a means to explore and awaken the capacity for transformation, ROPP produces and deliver short, mid and long term programs and projects for schools and community organisations.

At the core of our community and education engagement we offer the opportunity for individuals and groups to embark on creative journey’s that will enable them to discover and deeply consider relevant themes and subject matters that are relatable and transferable to their everyday lives.

With powerful, motivational and highly thought-provoking, pieces of contemporary theatre as main reference points and stimulus’ for discussion, ROPP seeks to assist any syllabus, thematic study and subject matter, whilst contributing to the progression of creative learning and the gaining of new perspectives and insights to support individuals and groups to move forward positively.

“Theatre and Film Production”-
We at ROPP a long with a growing number of creative artists who work with us believe that Theatre and film should be used as tools to truthfully depict humanity’s diversity, to challenge, inspire, inform, motivate and lastly to entertain. It is our vision to continually build upon and develop our infrastructure of collaborators and creative practitioners that produce professional and high quality Theatre and Film productions that are grounded within the narratives and realities of individuals and communities that are considered marginalised and hard to reach.

To impact the lives of people through Theatre and Film is one of the main driving forces of ROPP. It is our mission when embarking on any production, to stay faithful to the construction of a creative journey that feeds the spirit and celebrates life by exploring strategies for survival, transformation and prosperity.
