Workshops for
Community Groups

Diverse City promotes the use of performing arts as a means to initiate positive change within communities. We work in collaboration with community and voluntary organisations to develop workshops and large-scale multi-media performance projects within the community.

Diverse City artists hail from varied backgrounds, are of diverse identities and have a wealth of experience working with various community groups. We can design workshops and projects to meet the specific needs of a particular community and provide facilitators who have direct experience working with the group in question.

Our workshops and projects can:

• facilitate communication and collaboration within, and between, communities
  
• enable participants, including those without artistic experience, to develop their creativity
  
• enable participants to develop their communication skills
  
• explore the creative potential of local, communal and public spaces.
  
  

Example
1. Inter-Generational Community Project
During spring 2006, Diverse City were commissioned by the charity Groundworks to work with residents of the Sidmouth Mews Estate in the Kings Cross area of London. The project aimed to create greater understanding between young and older people on the estate and culminated in a musical theatre performance at Camden Town Hall that featured a group of women aged between 65 and 85 and a mixed group of young people aged between nine and 18.
