Taking Part
Taking part was at the heart of what we did, providing a rich and exciting programme of weekly workshops and performance opportunities.
We ran seven in-house groups at our Fairfield Halls studio, and spearheaded an outreach programme in schools and community venues. Our participatory arts programme championed co-creation with marginalised communities and integrated groups with diverse lived experiences, including individuals with disabilities, experience of displacement, trauma, and socio-economic barriers.​
SAVVY had a ‘no experience necessary’ policy for anyone wanting to take part and there was no audition process to join us.
​
Co-creation was central to everything we did and we were dedicated to an ensemble way of working.​
SAVVY aim was to create ambitious and exciting theatre with youth and community casts, raising the personal expectations of both those involved and those who come to watch.
