The company runs The Birdcage Stage, a performance space with a variety of acts and installations, creating arts events, participatory performances, street theatre, outdoor installation, community workshops, film, theatre and music production, and equipment hire. We have worked with diverse community groups across the North West sharing artistic activity, wellbeing activities and workshops, training and skill sharing and bringing performances to areas that don’t usually access them.We have provided opportunities for community groups and schools to participate in arts activity through music, theatre, visual arts and spoken word workshops.We have supported other community groups through the hiring of technical equipment for events. We have offered mentoring in audio engineering, event, and stage management for young people as part of our touring festival programme.
The company’s stakeholders are the performers and makers involved with creating work that is performed, the audiences that view the performances, and bodies such as Knowsley Borough Council that programme events.The company has built up a roster of local female performers, makers and technicians that it helps to provide opportunities for.Associated performers, makers and technicians have routine debriefs after the conclusion of each project and we encourage feedback to make performances and installations more impactful and fun. After the conclusion of Belladrum festival, we have consulted stakeholders and put forward further applications for bringing festival programmes to the wider community and offering mentoring opportunities for young people has proved to be a successful and rewarding strand to this work. Our work with Knowsley and St.Helens Borough Council has provided more work for stakeholders and enabled us to make further connections with promoters and reach a wider community, benefiting them through wellbeing, work opportunities and creative collaborations. Associated performers, makers and technicians have also notably had more work opportunities with third parties as a direct result of networking within the company’s infrastructure.After the conclusion of events, evaluation forms and feedback forms are received from event programmers to assess how future events can be made more impactful.Audiences are consulted via Q&A sessions after shows and via feedback forms from attendees after workshops. As most performances conducted by the company are street theatre, attendees do not plan to attend, but often stumble upon performances. From this feedback it has been noted that bringing performance and art to areas that do not normally have them is highly valued and stimulating, especially for younger attendees that would not see similar performances elsewhere.It is also worth noting that the company has moved addresses and will now be based in the Wirral Borough Council area and is seeking further opportunities for community outreach work in this area.
