A theatre group has launched a new live arts project to support community well-being from money raised through the Health Lottery.
North Somerset arts development charity, Theatre Orchard, has been awarded a grant of £34,140 by People’s Health Trust using money raised through the Health Lottery South West.
The funding will enable a two-year project, Theatre Forum, to be set up, offering a new weekly, open access drama provision in Weston that provides a forum for in-depth exploration of social issues.
This will result in a community showcase performance in 2022, created and shaped by the participants. The first phase of the initiative, currently underway, offers people the chance to take part in digital artistic experiences, inviting discussion through dance, drama, film, mixed media and art.
