Company activities and impact

The Directors’ Playground Is a Community interest company set up to provide emerging directors and actors with valuable opportunities to collaborate on new projects, hone their crafts and network with other creative in London. In our first year we have held four 7-week terms, which have allowed 16 different emerging directors to work on new projects with 100+ emerging actors; we have also held 3 Weekend workshops which allowed the 18 participating directors and 36 participating actors the chance to learn first hand from industry leading directors, including Max Webster and Miranda Cromwell. As well as the development and growth inherent in having the space and opportunity to experiment and play together, several plays have gone on to have rehearsed readings and full runs on several London stages including The White Bear, The Golden Goose and The Hope Theatre. We have also had several short films developed in the playground, which are now being filmed and edited.

Consultation with stakeholders

Our stakeholders are the actors and directors who participate in our terms and workshops. We consult with each cohort at the end of the term/ workshop via an anonymous feedback form in which we ask what people have enjoyed and what they would like to see done better. This has led us to streamlining our application process to be able to match actors and directors better, it has also shown us the need for us to check in with participants half-way through the process to see if we can resolve any issues that arise. One thing our feedback resoundingly flagged is that our participants need low-cost opportunities like the ones we are offering.

Directors' remuneration

£2,750 was paid to directors

Transfer of assets
