You are invited to a House Party like no other…
We are delighted to be providing creative direction for The Theatre Chipping Norton for an otherworldly winter bacchanal on February 2nd 2024
On a winter’s night you’ll draw up to Kirtlington Park, aglow with candlelight and secrets to be revealed. Welcomed in from the cold with Cremant and canapes, you’ll be guided through the house where all is not as it seems. As painted monkeys dance across the walls, surprises hide within each room…
From haunting subterranean dance to acrobatic opera, from gob-smacking comedy to magical fireside storytelling, you’ll discover heart-stopping live performances in rarely seen corners of this classical 18th century house. A truly immersive theatre experience and a feast for the senses for those who like things a little different…
The House Party launches The Theatre’s fiftieth anniversary year in the very utmost of style. This evening is everything The Theatre is about – whether you know it or not…
2024 marks fifty years since the creation of the Chipping Norton Theatre company – five decades stuffed full of art and entertainment, joy and surprise. Join us to celebrate the past and look forward to a defiantly ambitious future with a year-long programme of unmatched, unmissable and truly unique events.

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 Common Ground
Common Ground is a series of events bringing the legacy of Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp to local communities across the UK. It is part of a project created by Scary Little Girls in collaboration with Greenham Women Everywhere CIC to map the impact of the Peace Camp on the women who inhabited it and the communities they returned to. This project has been made possible thanks to support from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
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. You can view our archive of oral histories, photographs and ephemera from Greenham here.
Inclusion and Accessibility
Common Ground strives to be an inclusive and welcoming space which celebrates diversity in all its forms. Our approach is to learn from and value each other’s lived experience.
