HowlRound Theatre Commons: “Not for me, not for you, but for us.” You will find that motto etched into the ceiling of Battersea Arts Centre in South West London. Perched on Lavender Hill, Battersea sits in the heart of Wandsworth and was once the area’s local town hall, at the very hub of civic society. Theatre is still staged in the old Victorian debating chamber where nineteenth-century politicians deliberated the issues of the day, and for over a century the building has been part of local people’s lives.

England was one of the first few countries which treated theater as an art form, motivating inspiring artists to take up new endeavors and pursue their artistic talents.
And a huge way as to how the country was and still continues to do so is through the theatrical institutions that have installed all around the country, so that aspiring artists have medium for their projecting their talents.
This presence of medium is very important for artists and has been a characteristic of the nation since long, because as the article says, the nations has always aimed for the growth of theater as an art form and its position on the world stage as an artistically inclined nation.
This article clearly articulates this mission of the nation, giving ample number of examples that stand witness to this goal of the nation, a goal which has helped innumerable number of aspiring theater artists.
