Paperwork Theatre is a Liverpool-based company led by Artistic Director Nicole Behan, creating bold theatrical experiences for the stage and beyond, which respond to the question ‘what does the world need right now?’ Our work seeks to create connections and adventure for audiences through innovative storytelling. We create plays and immersive, interactive experiences that have something to say about the world around us and invite audiences to be actively involved. We’re proudly based in the North West where we invest in regional talent and maintain a national perspective by creating and collaborating with established theatre makers from across the UK. We’re fiercely female led and champion the skills and opportunities for women as audiences, participants and artists to redress gender imbalance. We invite communities to co-design the ideas we stage through conversation, workshops and projects. Our strategy is informed by the insights and experiences of these people which ensures a diverse and dynamic approach. We also create space for local people to tell their own stories in a programme of Community projects which includes RISE UP, our creative skills course for women, delivering our Teacup Commission micro fund to support new work, and a range of workshops for Theatre Makers and Local people to receive skills development and networking opportunities. In reflection of the world around us, Paperwork Theatre is ever-changing, reaching new people and voices in the heart of our communities and beyond.
We invite communities to co-design the ideas we stage through conversation, workshops and projects. Our strategy is informed by the insights and experiences of these people which ensures a diverse and dynamic approach. We also create space for local people to tell their own stories in a programme of Community projects. RISE UP participants take part in spoken and written feedback at the end of their course. This includes asking them to talk about their experience, the impact of the project and the type of activities they would like us to run in future. At the end of each project we create an impact report to send to our partners and ask them to offer feedback too. Teacup Commission attendees engage in 20 minute networking sessions where they talk with us about their work, inspirations and how they would like to create/engage in projects. When we deliver Workshops we do spoken feedback sessions at the end to gather feedback from participants. All of this work shapes what we make and how we deliver our work.

Directors Salaries £25,900 There were no other transactions or arrangements in connection with the remuneration of directors, or compensation for director’s loss of office, which require to be disclosed.
