A Royal Exchange Theatre production
11 April 2014
From 2011 – 2014, the Royal Exchange Theatre delivered an innovative three year partnership with the Booth Centre (a service offering advice and activities for homeless people in Manchester) which used creativity and theatre to develop the personal and social skills of homeless adults.
In April 2014, the Royal Exchange Theatre and the Booth Centre delivered Backstage? Me?, a one day national event looking at homelessness and theatre. This event offered an opportunity for debate, discussion and intelligence sharing with other homeless charities, arts organisations, practitioners and social change professionals, exploring the rich variety of conversations, progressions and reflections taking place with people living in poverty.
I produced Backstage? Me? on behalf of the Royal Exchange Theatre.
