Barbados born Don Kinch has been a respected playwright and director for over twenty years. Having established Staunch Poets and Players in London, Don moved to Birmingham in the late 1980s in search of fresh creative ground, working with young local talent and The arts Council he developed the Third Dimension Theatre Company and African Peoples Theatre. The great void in Black artistic expression during the middle and late 1990s led both him and Soweto to create Nu Century arts. Don describes the personal effects of Nu Century arts as liberating, I have managed to combine a career as a lecturer in performing arts with my writing. This has rescued me from the perils of the freelance black writer seeking opportunities in an ever changing landscape of trends, arts funding policies and the see-saw interest of theatre and TV producers.Driving towards a truly unique artistic voice, his theatre company has benefited from with kindred institutions yet still maintaining strong creative autonomy, Working within a structure such as Nu century arts has afforded me the great privilege of working consistently around specific themes and trying to find the whole in a sea of fragments.
