Anansi theatre company, was created as a way for women of the global majority to share, connect and express themselves creatively. During the financial year of 2023-2024 the company benefited the community by-Employing local artists to work in our performances-Employing women of colour to work in the management aspect of the company-Creating and delivering workshops with community groups-We did our Empowerment Drama Club for Girls and Young Women of Colour at Normanton library in derby. These workshops were free to attend for derby participants, ages 6-10 and 11-14. For the Normanton library workshops participants and guardians also had free food.-This group performed at International Women’s Day Derby.-We provided workshops at Deda for women of colour who suffer with mental health-We provided free workshops during half term at Normanton Library for all children and families-We received funding from Community Action, Derby City Council, Foundation Derbyshire, People’s Postcode Trust, Children in Need, The National Lottery, The Phoenix Way and The Girl Dreamer Fund-We continued our commitment as part of DHIP Derby Health Inequalities Partnership and the Core 20 Connector Programme, specializing in provisions for women of the global majority who suffer with severe mental health. We attended forums and discussions on sharing best practice and challenges.-Most recently were have become part of a subgroup of DHIP – Community Researcher’s. This means that we work with more organisations to support provisions in Derby.
The company’s stakeholders are participants of our workshops, performances, local artists, and community groups. Two of the directors of the company are based in derby and have a strong connection to the community and arts in the area.During our drama workshops we ask the participants to fill in a feedback form about what they enjoyed, what they want more of and what they found challenging. From this we found that this had been some of the participants first time at a drama workshop or drama club and what had stopped them from attending before and what we can do to encourage them to keep coming. We collect feedback from all our outreach sessions. For our women of colour programme, for those who suffer with mental health, we had a sessions just for collecting feedback and discussing openly about the programme.We ask for feedback after our research and development project from the artists to make sure they are getting what they need to do their best work.We also have weekly check ins with members of staff to make sure they are supported. We have recently appointed a mental health and wellbeing champion to support staff and the participants we work with.Furthermore, we have Community Advisory board who are members of the community. We meet quarterly. From our meetings we have updated our safeguarding policies.We have an Industry Advisory Board, which is made up of artists of colour who are based in the East Midlands and in the UK.We changed our articles and added Hubbub Theatre Company to our asset lock clause.We are very interactive on all social media accounts which enable potential participants and their guardians to ask questions and offer suggestions.We have now employed a General Manager to support Anansi’s aims, values and mission.
