COMMUNITY STREET THEATRE TOUR

SURGE’S Community Street Theatre Tour is available to book for festivals and events throughout the U.K. We offer a unique opportunity for festival and event organisers to bring our street theatre team to their local area to work with up to 50 members of the community.

Since the tour started in 2012, we have reached over 50 locations and festivals, including Under Canvas Festival with Eden Court Theatre, Peebles Imaginarium Festival, Dumfries & Galloway Arts Festival, Solas Festival, Galoshans Festival, Fife Pride and our own annual, Glasgow-based festival, SURGE. 

As well as experienced direction and training from our established Director and Stage Manager, we’ll provide up to 50 specially made costumes for the acts and will deliver exciting street theatre workshops in the lead-up to the festival, introducing participants to the basics of street performance. ​

Participants then have the chance to perform the acts on site as part of the festival or event programme.

 

If you are interested in booking our Community Street Theatre project for your local area or festival/ event please contact us for further information.

If you represent a community group or are an individual wishing to take part in our street theatre workshops, and you would like to find out when we will be coming to a festival near you, please contact us for a full list of our tour dates.

 

We have worked with a variety of participants and community groups, including schools and colleges, youth theatres, youth clubs, local choirs, volunteer groups, dance groups, amateur dramatics groups etc.  

 

Participants must be aged 13+ (no upper age limit).

With thanks to The Hugh Fraser Foundation for supporting our Community Street Theatre project.
