Off The Wall Players CIC were able to begin to reach communities in person since most of the Covid restrictions had been lifted. Off The Wall, players continued to be affected by a Theatre and community arts industry that had not quite bounced back to pre-COVID levels. Some community groups continue to be vulnerable and are still cautious about in-person engagement so we continued our online services.The Projects we worked on were:1. Creating new approaches to mental health in Tower Hamlets Feb-May 2022Creating new approaches to mental health in Tower Hamlets, was a project in which Off The Wall Players worked with Queen Mary University Members of the Tower Hamlets BAME Disparities project to build existing knowledge and assets of local community organizations to identify better mental health care solutions and approaches. We used forms of creative inquiry and the expertise of other community organizations and worked with QMUL academics to illustrate how we address stigma, the benefits of our work, and the challenges we face while doing it in our community work. We enabled meaningful, supported spaces to make meaningful contributions to the mental health of Tower Hamlets residents. The outcome of the workshops was an event with statutory mental health providers. During this event, we shared our creative works and prompted a facilitated discussion with providers to illustrate the value of our work and how they can be supported to do it more effectively. 2. Hope Street April- September 2022 Off The Wall, Players worked with The World from my window and AWE on the community Arts project funded by the British Council called Hope Street. Hope Street was a community arts project that brought together three creative teams across three countries and three very different communities; in the UK we’re working with the homeless community and people impacted by housing instability, in Sudan the community has been beating heart and banging drum of the recent resistance and in Ethiopia a community of weavers share what hope means to them as they travel from the hills to the streets of Addis Ababa.In the UK we used creative inquiry, music, poetry, and applied arts workshops to interrogate and find answers to the questions below to create art and promote community cohesion and inclusion. Hope Street was a project which asked the questions,i. When the immediate future is uncertain, where does hope sit? and, if we find it, how can we wield it as an act of resistance?ii. What might we discover through gathering and weaving our stories together about what it costs to access hope and about our relationships with hope?iii. How might what we discover help others understand more about hope in their own lives? This was both in-person and online engagement and performances.3. Museum of Homelessness VariousOff The Wall Players worked with the Museum of Homelessness to deliver Object storytelling performances at the Museum of Homelessness.4. THCVS Community Engagement work Jan-Dec 2022 Working with THCVS on the BAME disparities project on various community engagement activities with Tower Hamlets, meetings with Tower Hamlets council. These were both in-person and online. Voluntary work with paid expenses.5. Cardboard Citizens & Prison Reform Trust June Off The Wall, Players worked with Cardboard Citizens and the Prison Reform Trust to create a piece of forum theatre that explored neurodiversity and prison reform. This piece was performed in London to local community audiences with Canterbury at the prison reform trust conference. This was both in-person and online engagement and performance.6. Scrunchie Aug-October Off the Wall, Players worked with Southwark Playhouse to produce a piece short piece of theatre that explored the themes of ethnicity, gender-based violence, and coercive control. The piece was performed in October for black history month to community audiences. This was both online and in-person engagement.7. Relish Theatre Time and Tide Tour Sept-NovOff The Wall, Players worked with Relish Theatre to support the Time and Tide Norfolk and Suffolk tour with community engagement workshops that used applied art to create democratic spaces to explore the themes of community, small business and chain business and the changing of coastal towns in East Anglia. We worked with a range of ages from 16- 70+.8. EduHam Schools Workshop Sept 2022-Jan 2023Off The Wall, Players worked with Cameron MacIntosh Ltd and its production of Hamilton. This was to produce a series of workshops for secondary school-aged young people. Raise awareness about career options in the theatre industry for underrepresented communities. Develop creative arts skills and soft skills needed for jobs.
Off The Wall Players ‘stakeholders are community groups who use the services of Off The Wall Players. This can change according to what community we work in. In this year the communities include Tower Hamlets, Hackney, Haringey, Southwark, Westminster, The City of London, Lambeth, Islington, Hammersmith, Haringey, Camden, etc. In 2022 we also worked with communities in East Anglia which include Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk. It would also include the people who attended any online workshops and performances which was across the whole of the United Kingdom.Stakeholders have been consulted by way of a creative consultation process that consults with the community before conducting any projects. Going out into the community and asking community groups in person what they would like to see happen by way of a project. We run consultation groups in community spaces where refreshments are offered. We also have post-it notes for people to make suggestions anonymously which are collected and recorded after performances and workshops.We collate these answers by recording them anonymously and archiving them. Off The Wall Players have acted in response to feedback from its consultations. We refer to the creative consultation and research gathering done before the start of a project. Before we create any projects, we ensure that they are needed in the community. We then plan our projects around that.For online community outreach which we conducted on Zoom, we emailed people on our mailing list and sent out simple tick box forms to find out what they most wanted and what would be helpful after the restrictions from the Covid pandemic were finally lifted. Community members said that they still felt isolated, bored, scared, lonely and anxious. Some community members felt their mental health had been severely impacted by COVID-19 even after the restrictions had been lifted. Some vulnerable community members were still isolated and did not feel safe to engage in workshops in person. Off The Wall, Players offered both in-person and online workshops and performances to respond to the community's needs.
