About The Works
We provide support, advice and information to individuals and companies involved in dance and theatre in Cornwall, including youth dance and youth theatre activities. We want dance and theatre practitioners to be able to develop their ideas and work, and audiences to have the chance to experience the best that the performing arts have to offer.
The WORKS does this through a range of activities – showcases, master classes and workshops, local and regional touring schemes that support venues in Cornwall, networking and advocating for the sector to key decision makers. We also regularly work in partnership with a wide range of other organisations in Cornwall and regionally, to develop a range of projects and initiatives.
