The company runs The Birdcage Stage and this year has focussed on the creation of arts events, participatory performances, street theatre, outdoor installation, indoor performance, community and schools workshops, theatre and music production, and equipment hire. We have worked with diverse community groups across the North West including 6 schools across Merseyside, and a collaboration with residential care homes across the region. We have developed a series of creative play workshops, sound, music and singing workshops, artistic activity, wellbeing activities, and bringing performances to areas that don’t usually access them. We have made new creative partnerships with community organisations including Sefton Park Palm House, Warrington Young Producers, Travelled Companions, 4wings and Asylum Link refugee groups. We have provided opportunities for community groups to participate in arts activity through music, theatre, visual arts and spoken word workshops and performances. We have supported other community groups through the hiring of technical equipment for events, peer advice, mentoring and skill sharing sessions.
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 Sefton Park Palm House and festivals who have funded the work. The company has built up a roster of local female performers, makers and technicians that it helps to provide opportunities for and continues to do so. Belladrum festival has become our regular summer event which falls at the end of our accounting year, it is also when the core group of our stakeholders meet and share work, feedback and evaluate how we can develop and continue our work for the current year. It has been noted that we will expand our team to include a wider group of performers and create new work for sharing in 2025. Our work with Sefton Park Palm House has provided more work for stakeholders and created new collaborations with other creative organisations such as Travelled Companions, Artemis Productions, and Frolicked theatre. These creative organisations are delivering work that share our community aims and values and we plan to continue to nurture these creative relationships with our work going forward. Offering more job opportunities, funding partnerships and a wider community offer. Evaluation and report writing from Sefton Park Palm House and the schools we worked with has been useful for us in terms of seeing how successful our work is in the community. Audiences felt calmer, and noticed their wellbeing and happiness increase after attending our workshops and performances. As most of our 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.
