Artists only discussion with Owdyado Theatre
2023-11-26 12:30 - 14:30 | St Gluvias Community Hall, 48 West Street, Penryn, TR10 8ER, United Kingdom
Are you an art practitioner based in Cornwall? Want to discuss the issues that local artists face and make a change? Join us for this industry event with Owdyado Theatre!
You may have come across the recent Performing Arts Workers Survey, which has been circulated through emails and on Facebook. We have been heartened by the overwhelmingly positive and candid responses from 72 artists who completed the survey. While the survey underscores the abundance of ambition, talent, and passion in Cornwall’s performing arts community, it also sheds light on the frustration, anxiety, and exhaustion that many artists face.
Our goal is to begin addressing these challenges by coming together in person to brainstorm solutions for the issues causing these concerns. Consequently, we would like to extend an invitation to you to join us for a practical discussion event at St Gluvias Village Hall in Penryn on Sunday, November 26th, from 12:30 pm to 2:30 pm.
During this event, we will delve into five key issues identified from the survey:

Local funding (decision-making and distribution)
Cliquiness and Gatekeeping in Cornwall
Limited artistic freedom
The value of artists in Cornwall
Geographical and professional disconnectedness

Our aim is to explore these issues through small, informal group discussions to generate actionable starting points to effect positive change.
We also have plans to host similar events in 2024 in various areas across Cornwall. If you cannot attend the Penryn event, please let us know which areas would be more convenient for you.
For those attending the Penryn event, here are directions to the hall.
Please note that this event is not open for the public and is exclusively for artists in Cornwall. Please email us to book your place.
We look forward to the opportunity to engage in this crucial discussion and work together to improve the performing arts landscape in Cornwall!
Thanks to The Stage for sharing this campaign!

About Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp
Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp was an enduring and iconic protest spanning 19 years from 1981 – 2000. Whilst the occupation of the common began with the aim of forcing out the US nuclear warheads from Berkshire, the protest became a focal point of feminist history and has left a legacy of women’s liberation around the world.
Broadway will be hosting an exhibition where you can find out all about this powerful movement that began 40 years ago and continues to influence today.
Hang out in a bender tent listening to a specially created soundscape of sounds and stories from the peace camp and interviews with Greenham Women. Chat to public herstorians about your memories of Greenham and hear theirs. Look around the gallery at portrait photos of the Greenham Women today as well as new work by contemporary artists inspired by the Greenham Women Everywhere archive and current protest movements.

We’re finalising details for more events and experiences that draw on the spirit of Greenham including craftivism workshops, book talks, film screenings, poetry, music and performance – keep an eye out on our events page!

Join us at Liskeard Library on Thursday 14th March and laugh until the tears run down your legs – and feel reassured that it isn’t just you!
Host, peri-menopausal glamour-puss Bunny Morethan aka Rebecca Mordan (Glastonbury Festival compère, Sky News ‘rent-a-feminist’ and BBC Writers Room) is here to learn all she can about what’s coming down the female line. In a perfect antidote to the doom and gloom surrounding the menopause, Bunny will lead audiences on a be-sequined exploration of menopause and midlife.
And following a sold out run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the outrageous stand up of Jennifer Kennedy – award-winning author of Martha Gets the Menopause, Galloping Catastrophe: Musings of a Menopausal Woman and the hugely successful blog Is It Just Me? – brings you Menopausal Monologues. This is a collection of personal monologues breaking the silence around the menopause and giving voice to a variety of women’s (and some of their significant others’) real experiences.
Enjoy these two acts held together with music and song exploring and celebrating middle aged women – or Queenagers!
Join us before the show for cakes and cocktails with our women-only play list and some radical crafting!
This event is being held at various venues across Cornwall from the 8th – 10th March and the 12th – 14th March. Keep an eye on our events page for more details!

Cabaret with Claws
2024-05-10 19:30 - 21:00 | The Poly, 24 Church St, Falmouth, Cornwall, TR11 3EG, United Kingdom
Join us on the 10th May at The Poly, Falmouth for the first night of our Mayven Festival – Cabaret With Claws!
Mixing wicked humour and eclectic jazz and cabaret, interspersed with jaw-dropping circus in solo performances and ensemble creations, Charlie Bicknell’s shows receive critical acclaim and, just as importantly, foot-stamping encores.
In ‘Cabaret with Claws’ Charlie Bicknell and Louise Innes present twisted takes on familiar themes, with Tim Minchin, Phil Nichols and Bonnie Tyler influences thrown in. Charlie has performed all over the world, from London to Dubai, Hong Kong and Sydney; Louise Innes with the ENO, ROC and at 10 Downing Street to name a few.
‘Witty, wanton, wonderful – Charlie Bicknell’s new show is cabaret with claws. She’s a heady, edgy high octane mix of English rose, vamp and Cruella, shamelessly sexy, murderously funny. You have been warned. Roses have thorns.’
