The idea
I will create a brand new, interactive theatre show involving 250 participants at 2 different events. With original live music , mime , dance and theatre I will explore avenues of lateral thought with tons of reference to well known cliches and catch phrases . Remember to THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX and never ever LET THE CAT OUT OF THE BAG ! .
To ensure the audience members and participants are as high as possible it will be performed at 2 already established shows in the district and will ride their publicity to ensure maximum impact.
If you can KILL TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE , then why not !.
A BIRD IN HAND IS WORTH TWO IN THE BUSH and a STITCH IN TIME SAVES NINE so as such both of these shows will be performed before October 31st 2025
With particular appeal to neuro diverse audiences , the spaces in which the shows are to be performed will be fully accessible both for physical and emotionally different people . The show itself will be suitable for all ages
What we'll deliver
- Write an all new comedy cabaret show
- Create a soundtrack including live music inserts
- Perform the show twice before November 2025
- Involve 250 participants in the show
- Ensure the show is accessible for all ages and every kind of human
- Involve 5 established artists in the shows development
- Take support from an accessibility mentor
- Involve up to 15 volunteers
Why it's a great idea
The chance to be part of developing brand new show increasing confidence and developing new skills for those interested in the arts who aren't able to work at it full time due to life commitments.
The chance to participate in a fun new show on a short term basis
The option to have an extra item on a cv application for a course or a job. The chance to spend time with people from diverse backgrounds and mindsets. The opportunity to volunteer on a brand new project
Steps to get it done

- Develop the soundtrack with original inserts with 2 x volunteers
- Practice the show and get ready for performance with sound tech volunteers
- Perform the show at 2 events with full accessibility
