Clicking on the poster above will enlarge it

Theatre Glos, Everyman And Create Glos offer opportunities to get feedback on performances and training to organise 'Scratch Nights'


Dear All, at the Theatre Network meeting on May 9th we discussed the possibility of organising a scratch night so that companies and practitioners could show their work with the opportunity for informal discussion and feedback from audience and peers after the performance. 


Theatre Gloucestershire has met with Paul Milton, Everyman Theatre and Pippa Jones, Create Gloucestershire to look at ways of making this happen.


The Everyman has offered the Studio Theatre for a week next February 2013 and mentoring for the companies/practitioners involved from an industry professional.


Create Gloucestershire has offered professional training (1day) for practitioners around leadership. The intention is to provide practitioners with the necessary skills to be able to organise this kind of event for themselves in the future.


Theatre Gloucestershire has a small pot of money available. 


Companies/practitioners involved will have the opportunity to -



  • Present between 20 and 60 minutes of performance material
  • Showcase their work at a live event in the Everyman Theatre Studio
  • Have the opportunity to engage in creative dialogue, about their work and that of other artists, with real audiences to help inform process and practice.
  • Meet other artists and companies presenting and develop future partnerships.



If you are interested please put forward a proposal for what you would like to show/perform and what you hope to achieve from the evening and send to kim@theatregloucestershire.net . The proposal  should be no more than 500 words.


Look forward to hearing from you soon.


Best wishes

Drama Teachers Evening at the Roses



Art Lift participants demand more


The Roses Art Lift programme, which has seen 30 people referred, either through their GPs or their health visitors, to attend creative workshop sessions each week between January and May 2012, has had participants demanding more as the planned series comes to an end. 


Desperately keen to continue the workshops, and to receive their obvious benefits, three participants have taken it upon themselves to create and plan a new course to act as a follow on to Art Lift, called Arts For Health, which they hope will encourage other Art Lift alumni to attend. The aim for Arts For Health is to ensure that participants are able to continue to meet regularly for creative projects, to work towards eradicating the stigma associated with depression and mental health problems, and to ensure that the Art Lift legacy can continue as an active prominent force in their daily life. 


Last years programme:-
Last years programme - but gives you an idea of  the activities on offer


“This is really encouraging” says Sarah Blowers, Take Part Director at The Roses. “Art Lift is an arts intervention that works with people who suffer from anxiety and who struggle with confidence issues, so the fact that these people in particular are fired up enough to develop their own scheme is amazing”. 


Determined to see this through, the first hurdle for Emily Smith, Abi Bunt and Cyril Bunt is to raise funds for the project, as they need to pay for the cost of the facilitator to run the project and to provide the materials for themselves and other participants. 


Using The Roses’ Cafe Bar as a base, the trio plan to host an Open For All Coffee Morning on the first Wednesday of every month from 10.30am – 11.30am which costs £2.50. There will be children’s activities, storytelling and coffee and cake for all. The proceeds of which will be donated to aid the funding of Arts For Health. 


“We really enjoyed taking part in The Roses’ Art Lift programme” explains Cyril “ As I started to build relationships with other people in the group, I found that I was really looking forward to the next session, and my confidence and outlook on life improved week on week. I got talking to some other participants and we all realised that we were not looking forward to the day the workshop ended, so we decided to do something about it”


Emily, Abi and Cyril are all young parents with a desire to continue to meet other people who struggle with anxiety, confidence issues and mental health problems. Having experience firsthand the benefits of having a structured arts intervention course in their personal daily life, they now are determined step out of their comfort zone even further by hosting this monthly coffee shop to raise funds to get the Arts For Health project off the ground.


The Coffee Shop takes place at The Roses on the first Wednesday of every month from 10.30am. Having successfully raised £15 at the first one in the start of May, they hope that the ‘open to everyone’ atmosphere will attract a good number of people at subsequent Coffee Shops in June, July, August and throughout the autumn. 


This demand for more by Art Lift participants coincides with The Roses’ announcement that they have been successful in their application for additional funding to continue the Art Lift Course for new participants which launches in September. 


If you would like to support Arts For Health programme, the course created by Emily, Abi and Cyril, which aims to follow on from Art Lift, attend the coffee mornings, or speak to Sarah Blowers, The Roses Take Part Director on tpdirector@rosestheatre.org


If you would like to join Art Lift in September, ask your GP to refer you onto the programme, or request a free referral form from Debora Hewlett by emailing assistant@rosestheatre.org. Your health professional must counter sign the form.

Free farm visit opportunity for adult groups


Emma Harrison is a commercial farmer operating 4 miles south of Evesham (WR11 7QS), 20 min from Cheltenham. The farm has a mixture of animals, crops and conservation areas. She is an 'open farmer' which means that she is a commercial farmer who hosts group visits. She hosts over 50 visits a year, the groups are largely children either main stream or special needs. Emma would like to host more adult groups.

Emma has a classroom, toilets and a passenger trailer which are wheel chair accessible. She also has several tracks on the farm which should allow a reasonable level of mobility for a wheel chair user.

She can offer the visits for free, may also be able to find help towards the transport costs. The funding finishes in August this year and so ideally the visits would need to take place before the end of July.

The funding has an emphasis on exploring the senses through what the farm has to offer. Emma can offer a range of activities and would be very flexible to offer a visit suitable and enjoyable for the visiting group. The activities don't just have to be about farming as she likes to use the farm as a learning tool for a variety of subjects.

If you would like to take your service users/volunteers or staff on an outing to visit Emma’s Farm and for further information you can either email or call Emma at robharrison37@btinternet.com or on 01386 700482.
