Learning & Participation

Conceived with great imagination and executed with panache

Birmingham Post

 

We are committed to a programme of community participation and learning. Since its inception, Foursight has worked in schools, colleges ,universities and communities alongside children,  young people and adults to enable the creative exploration of  ideas through  a variety of media, but in particular through drama, in both traditional and site-specific settings.

Our Learning & Participation work reflects the work of Foursight as a whole and is firmly woven through the company's artistic programming, with related Learning & Participation projects running alongside our regional and touring productions.

We work with people of all age ranges and from all backgrounds in our Learning & Participation programmes. Our aim is not only to connect with diverse communities, but also, where possible, to bring communities together through our work.

We are particularly interested in developing long-term partnerships.

We work with schools, colleges, universities, communities and the public sector.

As a devising theatre company, integral to our approach in any Learning & Participation project are:

  • stimulating the imagination
  • partnership and collaboration
  • taking risks - challenging the known and embracing the unknown
  • being absorbed by the ‘how', not preoccupied with the ‘what'
  • working purposefully towards an end which has meaning and value
