Let's build
this together

Stamp Stamp Text

We’re shaping change through people-led creative projects.

An award-winning Salford based arts company, we design and deliver performances, workshops and people-led creative projects for community groups, arts organisations and schools across the UK.

We believe that when people come together through theatre and art, they have the power to make change – and that it’s our responsibility to create accessible, representative spaces where they can give it a try.

That change can take place where it’s needed: in theatres, classrooms, community centres, libraries, on trams – and even in caravans – using whatever artform fits best: plays, podcasts, workshops, films and exhibitions. We’re changemakers and celebrators, working with people on their terms to collaborate, create and make tangible social action, together.

Projects

From poignant plays to powerful podcasts. Creativity in classrooms to a cinema in a caravan. Our projects centre around the things that matter to the communities we work with.
