The company was established in spring 2022, formally incorporating as a community interest company in June 2022 upon registration. It was created as a social-purpose musical theatre company with a mission to build the creative skills, experience and confidence of people and communities in Cornwall. The company aims to inspire, engage and delight our participants, creative practitioners and audiences in everything we do, transforming lives by: developing opportunities in creating and staging original musical theatre pieces within community settings; supporting people in accessing career pathways and life opportunities in the performing arts; developing and showcasing talent, including from under-represented groups; building and fostering harmonious local and international connections; and improving the wellbeing, mental health, and confidence of the people we work with by supporting friendships and combating social isolation. In 2024/25 our activities have been focused on the following objectives: Produce the next run of the Bal Maiden Musical - this covers community engagement workshops, auditions and casting, and cast workshops. Generate income to fund company activities - this objective is primarily focused on establishing income for company overheads and the production of Bal Maiden. Our activities have been carried out for the benefit of our communities which include diverse people in Cornwall who could benefit from being involved in a creative project; people who are interested in Cornish cultural output, Cornish heritage and mining; local people who love to experience musical theatre; and students of theatre and music. We started the year by planning for the next run of the Bal Maiden musical theatre show in Redruth, Cornwall. This included early stakeholder engagement, venue scouting, identification of creative professional coaches, technical support - sound and lighting, set design, budgeting and fundraising for the show. We organised a series of community workshops in Redruth and Camborne to generate local interest in the project and scout for potential cast members. We engaged with Falmouth University AMATA students to encourage auditions from people we haven’t previously worked with. These workshops generated community interest and also connected us with people who wanted to help in other ways, such as sewing costumes. The community workshops were followed up by formal auditions for community cast members. We had good engagement from the Redruth community with this. At the same time we continued our fundraising efforts to submit an application to the National Lottery Community Fund. We were delighted to be successful, with funding starting in February. In addition we were grateful to receive a further round of funding from the Cornwall Community Foundation and Creative Kernow via their FEAST programme. We engaged a professional set designer to help re-stage the show for a bigger venue. The final quarter of the year was focused on finessing the design and starting the production of some of the set elements. Formal cast rehearsals started in February with professional coaches for singing, acting and choreography starting to work with the team.
Our stakeholders are the communities we support and the organisations we work with in official and unofficial partnerships. The majority of our stakeholder engagement and consultation activity this year was focused on learning loops during the community workshops and auditions . This helped us to design the very best format for cast rehearsals and the re-shaping of the show following learning from the previous run. We worked with our creative professionals to ensure we targeted their contribution to the best effect for our community cast, focusing on the ultimate quality of the show.
Aggregate director remuneration in respect of qualifying services for the year ended 31 March 2025 was £500.
