Is playing with a Regional NOYO Ensemble for you? If you’re interested in joining from September 2025, a great way to find out is to join one of our Open Rehearsals in person or online in January, February and March 2025.
This is your chance to watch a rehearsal, meet some of the Music Leaders and musicians in your region, and ask any questions you might have.
Open Rehearsals are relaxed and will take place where we rehearse, in accessible venues.
Applications for Regional NOYO Ensembles will be open from 14 February – 31 March 2025 for 11-25 year-old musicians.
We also welcome applications from young disabled people with musical potential who might not yet play an instrument but control eyegaze technology or head trackers in a way that could transfer to playing the Clarion accessible instrument.

Have you ever wondered how to make your own theatre show? On this free 10-week course, we will explore different skills in making theatre and guide you in how to create your own world and transport it to the stage.
Whether you have an interest in performing, directing or something behind the scenes, this course will allow you to explore all the areas of theatre-making, and what goes in to putting a show together.
Once you have completed the 10-week course, there will be a showcase/exhibition of the work we have put together (not necessarily just performing!) This will all go towards you completing the Bronze Level Arts Award qualification.
Dates: Every Wednesday from Wednesday 22nd January until 2nd April, 5:00-7:00PM (except half-term)
Location: Pomphrey Hill Pavilion, Emersons Green, Bristol, BS16 9NF

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.
