Introducing Agent Dali (not his real name), who's on a Recruitment Drive for the C.I.A. (Company of Indoor Artists).

We're working in partnership with local primary schools in Withywood to support children aged 8-12 who are in receipt of free school meals to enjoy being creative at home.

Funded by Quartet Community Foundation and Arts Council England, the C.I.A. currently runs until July 2020. We have designed a range of creative missions including visual art, music and creative writing which children can complete at home. The C.I.A. also features online workshops by artists including puppetry specialist Tomasin Cuthbert Menes of Soap Soup Theatre, poet Malaika Kegode and musician Jack Drewry. 

More about the C.I.A. here.

Expanded Performance: Bristol +Bath Creative R&D
research project exploring technology and performance for young people

We are one of the six industry partners selected by Bristol + Bath Creative R&D to run a research project on the theme of Expanded Performance.

We are interested in whether the use of technology in performing arts opportunities means young people from less privileged backgrounds are more likely to engage. We are currently researching projects from all over the UK that have used technology to help young people engage with performing arts.

If you have run a project that combined technology with performing arts for young people from areas that are in the top 20% of multiple deprivation, we would love to hear about this. We are currently looking for case studies of best practice to include our final report. You can complete our survey or email us for more information.
