Did you catch sight of the red Ford Orion that delighted audiences in five community locations this month? 🛻
Our Arts Engagement & Outreach team have had a busy start to the academic year. In September we saw 1126 people taking part, supported 33 freelance practitioners through paid opportunities, entertained 2,535 audience members with live performances where they live, and hosted 18 workshops in community settings.
A highlight of the month was our week-long residency with ZoieLogic Dance Theatre Company's Ride. More than 2,000 people experienced the energetic outdoor performance in rural locations, community spaces, schools and Yeovil’s busy Quedam shopping centre.
We are also thrilled to report participation in our Take Part programme has increased by 32%, where we are currently delivering more than 120 hours of creative activity each month across 29 weekly classes! Plus, we are now supporting 21 individuals through our SHiNE Bursary Fund, a scheme designed to make taking part affordable and accessible for all.
