Regional Voices

Prioritising the Global Majority voices of the South West.

Regional Voices offers two key elements. A space for regional voices of the Global majority to come together and strengthen their community of people wanting to connect and celebrate their heritage. Beyond Face offers a space for storytelling, skill development and community to connect and experience the arts without needing to feel that you have to be an ‘artist’ or have experience to do so. 

The second element is about wellbeing and care, across all areas of our work we centre care and wellbeing at the heart of what we do. This of course is ongoing and we are constantly learning more ways in which we can embed this practice. We will be launching an empowerment and confidence programme to support regional voices in the arts who may have been impacted by bad practice, feel that the arts isnt for them or struggle to keep motivated to stay engaging in their arts practice. 

We will be working with a range of practitioners to offer sessions and development around what it means to be and thrive as a global majority artist in the region.  

Thank you to the Paul Hamlyn Foundation for funding our Regional Voices programme over three years. Keep an eye on this page for more updates as we launch the full programme of offers soon.

  • Have you heard of pot luck? When you bring a dish to share, well think of it like that but instead of food bring a theme, an idea, a topic that you want to talk about and share. Bring it to the table is a facilitated space to discuss and reflect. This might be about your frustrations of working in the industry, a concern that you have or perhaps you don’t know how to approach an organisation. Or it might purely be a place to share a MOJ and have it celebrated amongst others.

    These sessions are also a chance for us to meet artists we are currently working with, and find ways in which we might be able to support you/offer different things for artists of the global majority.

    We are also really keen to meet creatives who don't have a relationship with theatre yet, keep an eye out for a specific Bring it to the table for creatives across all artistic disciplines.
