Vision Our vision is to see social cohesion in communities, where people are active, engaged and connected through art and culture with a common understanding and respect for one another. Mission Trigger create and produce surprising, bold and popular theatrical interventions, which reimagine and revive public spaces and put audiences at the centre of the action. We are motivated by social and ethical issues, and we use art to explore gnarly problems. We care more about the impact of the work on the audience than we do about fitting into a particular art form. It’s for this reason we bring together unexpected collaborators, partners and audiences, engaging the masses and the individuals – with local relevance, national and international impact. What we do We dream up, create and produce bold and brave live events. We interrupt daily life, reimagine and revive public spaces, and place audiences and togetherness at the heart of everything we do. Values We are ambitious and bring world class multi-artform artists to create ground-breaking work of scale We are relevant and are driven to make work in response to societal issues of our time We make work that is fun and has a low barrier to entry We are inclusive and welcome people from all backgrounds to create, participate and experience our work We are sustainable and think carefully about how we create and deliver our projects sustainably PoliNations, Birmingham September 2022 Commissioner: UNBOXED Creativity in the UK For 17 days in September 2022, giant architectural trees created a canopy over a spectacular pop-up garden in Victoria Square, Birmingham. A vibrant programme of free events, workshops and performances including live music, dance and spoken word was enjoyed by 186,487 people, and animated this urban oasis, where thousands of plants and flowers were co-planted by 1,000 of the city’s residents. The super-natural wonderland uncovered the origin stories of the plants we know so well, including daisies, pansies, apple trees and roses. These, and in fact over 80% of the plants we see in our gardens are not from the UK. These plants tell the story of journeys, movement, dispersal, and new roots. PoliNations was a celebration of colour, beauty, and natural diversity. A place for everyone to explore, enjoy and be their true unique selves. PoliNations was brought to life by a world class creative team consisting of Creative Director (Angie Bual, Trigger/ The Hatchling), Design Director (Carl Robertshaw, Bjork/ Ellie Goulding) and Architects (THISS, The Bartlett/ UCL). Key achievements PoliNations was FREE to access and attracted 186,487 people in total, with live audiences of 148,929. 985 children and young people engaged with our educational activity pack Employed 585 artists, producers, creative and technical teams (freelance and employed) 12 paid trainees and placements working on costume, sound and lighting Over 60 community groups (1,000+ people) engaged from across Birmingham and the West Midlands Over 15 national partnerships to deliver the creative programme, including with British Coun-cil UK/ Pakistan Season, BBC Contains Strong Language, Birmingham City Council and Dis-hoom.
Trigger has a number of stakeholders, they include the audiences and communities the company works with, the funders & stakeholders who support the work and the Board of Directors. Audiences and participants are consulted and integrated into the making of our projects, by involving them in workshops, open events and in performances. PoliNations: We consulted with Unboxed: Creativity in the UK and the full creative team, from a diverse range of skills and backgrounds, representing those from Design, PR and Horticulture, who came to the project from different lived experiences. Other key stakeholders of the project include representatives from DCSM, Commonwealth Games/Birmingham 2022, British Council and the government. The Board of Directors are consulted on selecting works for presentation based on a number of set criteria. All projects must be in line with the company’s objects and aims. Criteria includes assessing number of audiences and audience demographic, number of participants and community groups and how they will be impacted by their involvement in the work, number and quality of partnerships and funders willing to support the project, funding raised and evaluation.
