Open Door Festival

South West Dance Hub presents an evening of new works in progress from Swift Dance Collective.

Philip Kingslan John from Four of Swords invites you to join him in this practical workshop, exploring invocation, transformation and rhythm.

An immersive game show to find the best “trash artist” to save all the raccoons. Compete to win a small prize, and the ultimate accolade under a system not designed for you.

Grace Plant (Graceless) and Sarah McCourt (Fragments, Monstrous Love Revisited) draw on their autobiographical theatre practice in this practical workshop looking at staging your stories.

Crafted through vibrant poetry, theatre, dance, music and flourished with bird song. Performers with a 50-year age gap mutually learn by sharing wisdom, passion, and honesty.

An arts and crafts session with a relaxed discussion around LGBTQ+ representation in theatre and art, and platforming underrepresented voices in community-led creative spaces.

Multi-Layered Movement Expressions is a creative dance workshop exploring bodies, landscapes, memories, and texts as interrelated.

Join Doohickie Productions and 10 emerging artists for a long table discussion exploring what emerging artists want and need to access the performance industry.

Bee and Robi have been living together for years. It’s always been the two of them – they hadn’t needed anyone else. That is, until one of them embarks on a new relationship.

This is a facilitated, supportive and empowering workshop to reconnect with your creative power, connect with other artist mamas, to galvanise yourself and to give and get accountability.
