for Black & Global Majority Creatives
Black Lives Natter presents the SpeakEasy programme which brings together a year-long series of events for Black & Global Majority individuals. The programme includes SpeakEasy Po’JaM, Po’JaM Co’LaB and SpeakEasy Page-to-Stage. Po’JaM is a bi-monthly music and spoken word open mic night, Co’LaB a monthly creative drop-in, and Page-to-Stage is a series of writing workshops. We are building a thriving creative ecosystem through writing, performance and community connection. Below are details on how to get involved with our programme of free and low cost events.
Tangle’s Artistic Director Anna Coombs started WOVEN in 2023 as a safe space for African, Caribbean and Global Majority creatives living in Swindon and the surrounding areas to meet and connect as an artist-led community.
The WOVEN network offers opportunities for peer-led meetings, soft skills training and practical theatre workshops, social events, and sharing projects and working practices. Our hope is to build a community where members with diverse skillsets can connect, form working relationships and support each other.
WOVEN meetings take place in Swindon and Southampton.
WOVEN is free to join. To find out more, please email Associate Producer Stefan Kwame Boakye at the address below.
Discover more about theatre and our productions from the people who make them; from conversations with the creative teams and actors to discussions on wider themes and context.
Our talks are now available online via YouTube, Instagram and zoom, and are mostly free.
If you are interested in applying to Guildhall School we would encourage you to attend an Open Day to find out more about the opportunities available at the School.
You’ll get to discuss the training with teaching staff, current students or recent graduates.
