In 2000 Pericles Theatre Company was formed in order to give people with long-term unemployment and/or special learning needs an opportunity to work alongside professionals in the theatre disciplines and also show casing the work of young promising artists.
In its first major production some sixty-eight people were involved overall, with Pericles trainees and workers involved in acting, singing, dancing, miming and back stage and technical support. Activities in the craft and art workshops were adapted in order to supply all that was needed in the design and production of costumes, props, puppets, masks, musical instruments and sound effects.
Theatre projects so far:
“The fate of the children of Lir” 2000
“Music and Songs to warm the Heart”
“Between the Salt Water and the Sea-sand”
“BENCH”, written for the Music of the Heart Conference at Cambridge University 2005.
“Woman” 2006
“Infanta” 2007
“Pericles” by William Shakespeare, performed in UK and Switzerland 2008.
In 2009 the company successfully performed for local audiences and the Brighton fringe, touring around the UK and playing for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival with H.C.Andersen’s “Nightingale”
