Engagement

Engagement is integral to the development of our work, on and off the stage.

Through creative workshop programmes with community groups, charities and young people we develop new audiences and artists for new writing and increase opportunities for cultural engagement amongst communities across Wiltshire and the South West. 

Community

Two of Folio’s key engagement partners are The Harbour Project, who support refugees and asylum seekers living in Swindon and Carers Trust UK, for whom we deliver workshops with Young Adult Carers.

Education

Our workshops empower the artists of the future from the early stages of their career to make work that matters to them, harnessing their talent and perspective on the world and affecting change.

“The Folio workshops were a completely new experience for the women. It was fantastic to see them developing their confidence to perform. There was so much laughter in the room and the women appeared more relaxed after the sessions. This is important given the stresses that being in the asylum system can give”
Mia O’Sullivan, Harbour Project
“Your involvement in raising awareness of our work with carers and directly setting up workshops for young carers’ benefit is beyond what we could have imagined”
