Firas Chihi
I started my SBC journey in 2019 as a participant, Interpreter and Advisor. In 2021 I took on my first performance role, in Hidden Winter, as English and Arabic Narrator and joined the company as an Associate. I became the Community Director for Stand & Be Counted in 2022.
I am incredibly passionate about work that centres people seeking sanctuary and educates the public on these experiences. I lead on SBC’s Culturally Sensitive Spaces Initiative and Language Access - ensuring language skills are never a barrier for participants and audience. I work closely with participants before, during and after every creative project to provide ongoing support, remove barriers and ensure every opportunity is a safe and empowering experience. I’m fluent in 3 languages (Arabic, French and English) and have worked across the country as an Interpreter and Translator for various industries including work with Cast, Doncaster and the National Theatre.
