“We are story collectors, bridge builders, and transformation artists.We listen to people and their stories through in-depth interviews, which then become an integral part of our performances. From these shared experiences, we create theatre that touches hearts and opens up new perspectives."

About the partners
Fall Into Place
Fall into Place Theatre is a Charitable Arts Organisation based in Leeds, also working in Bradford and wider Yorkshire. We engage a diverse range of communities through accessible groups and workshops, through theatre/arts to build connection, confidence, wellbeing, and joy. We believe that creativity and fun brings people together from all walks of life having a positive impact on society as a whole. We believe lasting wellbeing and positive social change comes from a deeper understanding of ourselves and others, so we aim to achieve this with our work. We deliver drama workshops in a variety of community settings. We take participants right through from having fun and building trust, to learning performance skills, to then creating theatre as a group and performing live together for an audience or sharing stories on radio. Ultimately we want to break down barriers between our communities so that people in our region feel connection, and can thrive in their daily lives. www.fallintoplace.co.uk
TAUSEND HEKTAR KUNST
TAUSEND HEKTAR KUNST is a multidisciplinary committed performance collective. Our mission is to strengthen local participation and enable creative exchange by transforming everyday locations into dynamic, public stages. We employ a participatory approach—using interviews from locals as a starting point - to foster dialogue, amplify voices and help residents discover their capacity for social change. We cooperate closely with the Kulturlandbüro in Rothenklempenow, leveraging their proven experience with Artist Residencies aimed at rural development. Our ambitious future vision is to establish the Old School in Taschenberg as an independent residency location, which will support our ongoing German-English collaborations. www.tausendhektarkunst.de
