Our work.
We have over 20 years’ experience delivering successful workshops across the areas of community, education and performance. We provide safe, fun and challenging environments that enable participants to harness the power of creativity to make positive changes in their lives.
Community.
In our community projects the arts become the medium to bring people together who are all too often isolated in modern society. Different generations, cultures, religions and abilities connect by doing things together in a creative, informal and joyful setting, strengthening existing ties and forging new connections that turn a collection of individuals into a community.
Education.
Using a mix of formal and informal settings, we use the arts to incite debate and critical thinking within a safe environment that supports teamwork and mutual understanding while also enabling students to grow emotionally and socially as individuals. We work in both primary and secondary schools across a range of art forms including storytelling, puppet making and drama.
Performance.
We explore different techniques to engage people of all ages in performance. Our experience tells us that age and ability are no barriers to becoming a performer. Here, the build up to the performance - rehearsals, making costumes and props etc - is just as important as the performance itself. Creating things together nourishes affect, understanding and empathy, but it is also challenging and therefore rewarding in equal measure.
