About the Author
Ned Glasier is Artistic Director of Company Three, a London-based theatre company working with young people.
As a writer/director he has made more than 40 plays with young people, including Brainstorm at the National Theatre/BBC iPlayer, The Future at the Yard Theatre, Boat at Battersea Arts Centre and When This Is Over. He has directed other plays and projects for the Young Vic Theatre, Royal Court Theatre, Almeida Theatre, Creative Scotland, Southwark Playhouse and Theatre for a Change (Ghana). During the pandemic he led The Coronavirus Time Capsule, a major international project involving more than 3,000 young people in 17 different countries around the world.
Alongside his work making plays with young people, Ned leads training in the practice of co-creation, teaches on University courses and works as a consultant helping organisations like English National Opera, Platform Glasgow, Stockroom, Brighton People's Theatre and Plymouth Theatre Royal develop their vision and mission and participation strategies. He was the ArtWorks Fellow at the Barbican Centre (2013-15) and part of Civic Futures (2019-20).
<br /><br />Company Three is a theatre company that aims to create a space in which young people can speak to adults, and in which adults will really listen. Originally formed as Islington Community Theatre in 2008, the company works with an ensemble of young people aged 11–19, all referred or nominated by teachers and youth workers as those most likely to benefit from the company's work. Its plays are part of an ongoing exploration about what it means to be a teenager, created through long-term collaboration between the company's members and professional theatremakers. The company also runs regular training courses in devising theatre with young people for teachers, directors, playwrights and practitioners.
