How did WOVEN start?
Tangle’s Artistic Director Anna Coombs started WOVEN in 2023 as a safe space for African, Caribbean and Global Majority creatives to meet and connect as an artist-led community.
What is WOVEN?
The WOVEN network offers opportunities for peer-led meetings, soft skills training and practical theatre workshops, social events, and sharing projects and working practices. Our hope is to build a community where members with diverse skillsets can connect, form working relationships and support each other.
Whilst theatre is our passion, we welcome African, Caribbean and Global Majority creatives working in any live performance artform to join us in sharing and embarking on this journey together.
Where do WOVEN meetings and events take place?
Swindon: Prime Theatre, Wyvern Theatre, Theatre Square, SN1 1QN
Southampton: MAST Mayflower Studios, 142-144 Above Bar Street, SO14 7DU
We’re hoping to add more locations to the WOVEN network in the future. Stay tuned for details!
How to Join:
WOVEN is free to join. In some circumstances we remunerate participants for their travel costs and time.
