Championing Communities
We champion local artist / technical / engineering communities and practitioners as well as the people who want to make things happen! We are proudly part of a worldwide community of makers and take an active part in artistic and technical ecologies – particularly the fields of tech art, community artworks, participatory theatre, immersive theatre and street games. We are committed to make innovative original community-led artworks, and to share our experience, strategies, techniques and tools.
We want to be where the people are. We work in town and small cities – we realise how much easier it is to move to well-funded cultural centres and metropolis. We want to work in lived in places, real spaces the best they can be.
We re-use and share our resources and assets to help our communities continuously create, following our constitution. As we become a Community Interest Company, we will ensure that spaces, equipment, tech and expertise continue to be available to our local communities and wider communities of practice.
