Education and Outreach

Conceived with great imagination and executed with panache

Birmingham Post, 2006

 

We are committed to a programme of community outreach and education. Since its inception, Foursight has worked in schools, colleges and universities alongside children, teenagers and adults to enable the exploration of many ideas through the medium of drama, in both traditional and site-specific settings.

Our Education and Outreach work reflects the work of Foursight as a whole.

Since Foursight's  restructuring, this aspect of our work is now being firmly woven through the body of artistic programming. Alongside the regional and touring productions will run directly related Education and Outreach programmes.

We also respond to additional relevant workshops and commissions as they arise.

We work with people of all age ranges and from all backgrounds in our Education and Outreach 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 Education & Outreach 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
