Collaborative Opportunities!

Coruscate Theatre has been extremely busy in both branches!

Coruscate Theatre in the East Midlands has recently established collaborative opportunities with the Nottingham Arts Theatre, with plans to deliver an adult education course, activities for 5-7 year-olds, "a play in a week" during the summer for young people and are auditioning for a youth production of The Boy Friend...tomorrow!

Alongside this collaboration, we have also decided to revive our first company production of Fern and Rose, which received Lottery Funding in 2010. With a few adjustments to cast, staging and the music, we hope to start rehearsals soon and perform in late June/early July. We will keep you posted. This production will fall under the recently established 'performance arm' of Coruscate Theatre: The Experimentrio Project. We aim to create, devise and experiment with other productions and material throughout this year, in which we will be seeking to collaborate with artists from different skill sets.

Coruscate Theatre in the East Midlands is now part of the Nottingham Emerging Theatre Companies Network - a support group for emerging companies in Nottinghamshire. With a handful of fantastic theatre companies involved, we hope to strengthen our profile in the East Midlands and collaborate with new, inspiring theatre companies.

We are becoming increasingly involved with Nottingham Beyond Borders, as part of our community work and input. This organisation works with asylum seekers and refugees, providing them with opportunities to develop their skills, primarily in the Arts. We are awaiting an answer for our Grants for the Arts application, which we submitted in collaboration with Nottingham Beyond Borders. If we're successful, we will be offering Theatrical Storytelling workshops for asylum seekers and refugees. Fingers crossed!

Exciting times lie ahead as we busily fulfil the education, community and performances branches for Coruscate Theatre!
