| Recipient Org: Description | The stated objective of the Waterside Theatre is to make its resources available to as wide a range of users as possible. This includes opportunities for participation through a variety of events to include a range of talents and art forms, at a cost affordable to the local community. The Waterside Theatre has run a high-quality performance programme since February 2001 and a very successful lottery funded Education programme since autumn 2003. We have a proven ability to design and manage arts projects that combine professional performance and community-based arts activity and to ensure that financial processes are in place to adequately monitor project expenditure against projected budgets. The theatre runs a successful arts and education programme through in-house projects and diverse outreach work. The programme aims to create meaningful opportunities for children, young people and adults, particularly those from areas of social and economic deprivation or who would not normally have access to artistic opportunities. The Waterside Theatre addresses a significant gap in arts provision as the only organisation in the Waterside area to provide quality arts to the local community. This area until 2001 did not have any arts venue and was starved of provision. The theatre is in an area of social, cultural and economic deprivation. Londonderry is in the top 10% of the most disadvantaged areas in Northern Ireland according to the Northern Ireland Statistical Research Agency Multiple Deprivation Report 2010. The Waterside Theatre delivers a large variety of art programs based on local need. Through working with local stakeholders, partnership organisations, and local community groups we ensure that some of the most marginalised and isolated in society can benefit from being involved in high quality arts activities. The Waterside Theatre proactively targets groups from a variety of geographical and cultural areas, from socio-economic backgrounds and abilities that currently do not engage in arts activity. These our some of our Community Arts Activities in the past year. Intergenerational Art Projects: The Waterside Theatre delivered a dedicated programme of activities in 4 care home settings with 4 local primary schools. This project allowed older adults an opportunity to participate in a meaningful activity to ensure that they remain productive, useful and contributing members of society. Through this two-year project we had 80 older Adults and 720 young people benefit from being involved in this project. Music Therapy and Drama: Through this project we deliver a year-round timetable of arts activities to young people with physical, learning and sensory disabilities and ensure that these young people can live lives as full as possible. Articulate: The Waterside Theatre worked in partnership with Extern from January 2019 to October 2019 to deliver high quality drama workshops to 50 vulnerable young people aged 13 to 17. Extern is a Charity that works with young people at risk of entering care, secure care or custody. The young people they work with face multiple concerns to include self- harm, suicidal ideation, addiction, homelessness and history of offending Mothers Drama Project: The Waterside Theatre worked in partnership with Sure Start Waterside to deliver a movement, creative writing and drama programme to new mothers, living within the Waterside area of Londonderry. The Waterside Theatre also runs a year-round programme of performance events to include live cinema screenings, Children’s Theatre, Music, Dance, Community and Drama. |
