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 creatives in London. In our second year we have held four 7-week terms, which have allowed 20 different emerging directors to work on new projects with 100+ emerging actors; we have also held 4 Toolbox workshop series which created opportunities for 500 participants to work with and learn from 20 different practitioners in a variety of disciplines including puppetry, voice, text work, clowning and many more. 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. We have also had several short films developed in the playground, which have gone on to be shown in various short film festivals around the country.
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 to numerous improvements in the way we run our terms. Another form of consultation we find helpful is paying attention to our number of applicants, which has been steadily increasing with many having to be turned away from full courses, and our returning participants who have come back to multiple terms and workshops, some having attended all of the terms and workshops we offer throughout the year. This information tells us that the opportunities we are offering are in high demand and of a good quality. One thing our feedback resoundingly flagged is that our participants need low-cost opportunities like the ones we are offering, with some having to split payments over time in order to take part.
