renovation, wants to open the arts to all.

The shows which feature in the initiative are as follows:

Bellow Theatre presents Bare Skin on Briny Waters on Thursday May 3, 8pm: Annie finds herself on a clifftop as Sophie covers the bruises on her neck in a show about survival and escape.

It’s underscored by live folk music.

Rhiannon Faith presents Smack That (a conversation) on Thursday May 31, 7.30pm: A piece of dance theatre about human resilience, survival and how we care for one another. Expect games, dancing, humour and honesty about domestic abuse.
