Swings & Roundabouts is a collective for emerging theatre makers to connect, create, share skills and support.
Our Promise
(A short guide on how to get on a swing and stay on a roundabout)
For everyone
We are a community with the sole aim of welcoming everyone, always. We are not funded and (for now), everyone participates on a volunteer basis to offer a network to creatives, sharing skills and support. We hope to bridge the gap between theatre makers with training and those without through peer-run workshops and 1:1s.
Accessible to all
It is our responsibility to offer a space which is accessible to all. It is our job to extend beyond our algorithms and echo chambers and be proactive in ensuring our theatre community is, indeed, for everyone. We make sure that all of our future opportunities are as visible and inclusive as possible. If you want to run a piece of work by us, or hear what we are looking for in short plays, our emails are always open.
By everyone
Theatre makers come to us with any ideas - from running workshops, to trying out new forms of virtual theatre, to connecting you to actors to hear your plays performed out loud. We will do what we can to make it happen - both within the Covid- landscape, and beyond.
Always room to grow
We never want to get stuck. We will continue to develop our model to reflect the changing needs of our community. We want to give you a stage on our platform.
