So who are we? How do you have fun, develop your creativity, immerse yourself in the arts and develop your confidence and self esteem? Engage Cascade. Every year thousands of People in Cornwall and throughout the UK attend Cascade workshops and performances and have life changing experiences. We may not be the most publicly known theatre company in Cornwall but after 14 years we have quite a track record. Often in life we can be stuck, lacking inspiration, feeling bored, looking for change or excitement or just in need of something different. It might be on a personal level, with your class, the group you are running or even with your organisation or business. Cascade works across the board. In schools we do drama for drama’s sake; performances and workshops on various issues; self-esteem and confidence building and community plays. The community projects unite a school with the local community to produce an event to which everybody can contribute whether in performance or in a supporting role. These plays are always a glorious dramatic and artistic event and are transformational for all involved. Cascade also has a large program for people with problems with drugs and alcohol; their mental health or long term unemployment. The workshops are enjoyable, practical and non-threatening and have a great foundation of success. Cascade also works with older people and people with dementia. We have a large programme of interactive performances which involve the participants in the lives and problems of the characters. Another programme for older people is our reminiscence work. This is more sedate but brings great fun and value to isolated older people. Over the years Cascade has also developed a number of plays and short films. Currently we have plays on Climate Change; Bullying in the Workplace; Domestic Violence; Young Carers and The Abuse of Vulnerable Adults. Always engaging, stimulating and thought provoking. We also have short films focussing on Young Carers, Abuse of Vulnerable Adults and our newest one is about Safeguarding Adults and the Mental Capacity Act. As well as all that we do drama for drama’s sake. We run workshops on acting, dance, comedy, improvisation, writing and creativity. All of our work is delivered in a non-threatening way and where each individual matters.
