Company activities and impact

Burnt Orange Theatre has continued over the financial year to provide free, high quality and innovative theatre and performance opportunities to young people. Driven by our community and members, the company actively widens participation in the arts, offering a pivotal stepping stone and springboard to many young creatives. Our community and collaborations have grown in this year, and we have developed a strong contingent of recurring participants who believe in and benefit from our work. Some successes from our year have included: - Establishing a youth board to support and guide the company and our output - Creating and running a writers group: ZEST - Begun delivering workshops in schools - Established a weekly youth theatre in partnership with Riverside Studios. - Hosted 3 ‘Scratch Nights’ for participants to try out their work and experiment in a lesson formal setting - Integrated our ‘Masterclass’ workshop week format into our annual plans, providing four days of development for writers and performers - Received an award ‘for excellence’ from at the Standing Ovation Awards for our REP project. In 24/25, we continued our strange, wide and varied participant numbers from the previous year, and engaged almost 1000 community members as our audience and practitioners. The work has continued to engage and inspire young artists to take power and autonomy in their creativity, and to develop their own personal creative communities. Our close connections with institutions and organisations in our local area developed across the year to create a symbiotic support network for young and emerging talent in the local area.

Consultation with stakeholders

Burnt orange work with a range of stakeholders whose perspectives shape our key decisions. These include our youth board, young participants, freelance artists, audiences, partner organisations, schools and local community groups. Burnt Orange undertake consultation through both formal and informal mechanisms, ensuring feedback is accessible and proportionate to the scale of each project. Consultation is embedded into delivery, allowing the company to respond dynamically throughout a project’s lifestyle. Feedback gathered through these consultations has led to - Adaption of workshop structures to include clearer scaffolding. - Increased emphasis on collaborative decision making, ensuring young people have greater agency - Improved access and inclusion measures - Refinement of pastoral support in long term projects - More transparent communication with freelance artists. We are committed to continuous consultation and reflective practice. Stakeholder feedback directly informs programme design and future planning. We view consultation as both a requirement and an essential part of ethical, youth centred theatre making.
