Company activities and impact

Over the financial year, we made a significant impact by championing inclusivity and representation in the arts, with a focus on the Deaf and hard of hearing community. Our acclaimed production Follow the Signs toured the UK, culminating in a three-week run at Soho Theatre, where it played to a diverse audience of Deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing individuals, fostering greater understanding and shared experiences. We facilitated workshops for Deaf and hard of hearing young people, empowering them with skills in dance and theatre-making to help them express themselves creatively. At Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, we hosted A Night in Sign, showcasing the best Deaf and hard of hearing talent to an audience predominantly from those communities, celebrating their achievements on a prestigious platform. We undertook two research and development weeks at Bush Theatre to explore a new production centred on Deaf stories and experiences, which has the potential to inspire and empower the Deaf community to create and share their own work.

Consultation with stakeholders

Our stakeholders include: The Deaf and hard of hearing community, including audiences, artists, and participants in our workshops. Partner organisations, such as theatres (e.g., Soho Theatre, Bush Theatre, Shakespeare's Globe). Funders, supporters, and collaborators who enable our work. Consultation and Engagement: Workshops and Events: We regularly engage with Deaf and hard of hearing participants during workshops, gathering direct feedback on how activities can better suit their needs, from accessibility requirements to creative content. This feedback has informed the design and delivery of our sessions. Audience Feedback: Post-show surveys, live Q&A sessions, and informal conversations at events such as A Night in Sign provided invaluable insights into how audiences experience our work. Feedback often emphasised the importance of representation and the desire for continued opportunities to celebrate Deaf talent. Creative Collaborations: Our research and development weeks at Bush Theatre were a collaborative process with Deaf artists, ensuring the new production authentically represents their stories and experiences. Suggestions from these sessions influenced both the narrative and accessibility features of the work. Partnerships: Regular meetings with partner venues ensured our activities aligned with their goals for inclusivity and community engagement. Actions Taken: Incorporated more accessible elements into our productions, such as captioning and visual storytelling techniques, based on audience feedback. Introduced follow-up sessions for workshop participants to deepen their learning and maintain engagement. Enhanced the promotion of our events within the Deaf and hard of hearing community to increase awareness and attendance. Through ongoing consultation, we have ensured our activities remain relevant, accessible, and impactful for all stakeholders involved.

Directors' remuneration

The only remuneration the directors received during the financial year were the fees owed for their professional services on the production of Follow the Signs, the Bush Theatre research and development, and A Night in Sign. There was no remuneration beyond these project-specific fees.
