Our Story
We began in 2007 as a not for profit performing arts organisation based in Waltham Forest. Our first project was to develop and produce a large-scale, outdoor arts show called WILDFIRE! Initially funded for two years by Arts Council England, our show was then commissioned by Homecoming Scotland and Creative Scotland. Since gaining charitable status in 2011, we have gone from strength to strength, creating new projects and reaching new audiences across London and beyond.
Our Vision
Our vision is to reach out and touch the hearts of children and adults of all ages and cultures through delivering original, dynamic arts productions and projects. We want to inspire communities to not only support performances, but to roll their sleeves up and get involved, no matter what their age. Through our participatory music and story-telling experiences, we aim to actively engage communities in activities that enhance confidence and self-esteem.
Our Goals
Our goal is to create and produce original, high quality work that is easily accessible for the public. We favour participatory music productions and these have included choral, dance and instrumental group activities for all ages providing opportunities to learn or re-visit musical skills.
Our current work includes The Smiling Sessions, interactive singing sessions for the elderly that improve wellbeing, confidence and mental health while reducing isolation.
Big World, an inclusive, world class music festival that connects people, celebrates culture, and strengthens community through music.
We will continue to create innovative projects that promote the benefits of participatory music and multi-arts performance.
