Open
Clasp Theatre Company are the North East's only professional women's
theatre company, with a proven track record since 1998. Working as a
catalyst in partnership with other community groups we run issue based
drama workshops with women and girl's groups and create theatre which is
taken to community and mainstream venues across the region.
The basis for all our work is the
knowledge that drama and theatre can be used as a tool to empower,
increasing self-esteem and confidence, leading to personal development and
growth, and to positive change for those taking part and the audience
members who share the experience.
In addition to tours and long-term
projects Open Clasp use our skills to help groups use drama and theatre as a
tool to break down barriers and increase self-esteem and confidence through
involvement in short term projects like "Play in a Week", "Play in a Day",
Conferences and Workshops.
