Current Projects

Not For Profit
Our current Forum Theatre project in Leith aims to create a space to debate issues relating to the current and impending budget cuts proposed by the Coalition Government. Why do these cuts have to happen? How will they affect people and communities? What can we do to question and fight them?

The first stage of this project is now complete and involved performances throughout community venues in Leith to a combined audience of over 270 people! Check out the write up on our blog for further details.

The second stage of the project will begin in February 2012. We invite all audience members from the first stage, and others interested in the topic, to work with us one evening a week to develop your own pieces of Forum Theatre exploring the Cuts for performances at a community event in May 2012. More details to follow shortly. Please contact us for more information or if you would like to get involved.
