Voices of Worle
A group of older Worle residents collaborated with composer Verity Standen and filmmaker Adam Laity to explore personal histories. And we gathered a local choir to perform songs inspired by these stories.
Abandon
We worked with an inspiring group of people - all of whom have experience of addiction - together with dance artists Clare Reynolds & Ania Varez, to create a bold dance performance for our Weston Festival.
Guerrilla Media Unit
We created and shared a set of wild stories about Weston... while developing skills in video, podcasting, writing and more, hosted by theatre director & radio producer John Norton.
Spies in Schools
Over the course of a year, theatre artists Nigel Barrett & Louise Mari devised adventures with eight Weston primary schools - culminating in a huge performance on the beach in the summer.
Weston Artspace
We opened a free studio for Weston-super-Mare’s creative community to meet, work, develop skills and share ideas.
We shared all of these projects with a public audience at our Terrestrial Festival in November 2019. you can watch a film following the journey of our projects in Weston here.
