Jumped Up Theatre

Back to Activities

Jumped Up Theatre create opportunities for people in Peterborough to make, enjoy and celebrate culture.

This activity is good for wellbeing because

  • it gives you opportunities to connect with other like-minded people, or to meet new people from different cultures
  • there are opportunities to be physically active by taking part in activities like fun Bollywood dance classes, or monthly Dance Included workshops
  • there are opportunities to watch or get involved in Theatre performances

‘More events like this are needed in Peterborough. The piece was very engaging and emotional and deeply affecting in how it was presented’ — Audience member for Now Is The Time To Say Nothing by Caroline Williams and Reem Karsalli

“I’ve truly had the best time creating, exploring, learning and networking. The project gave me loads of joy and plenty of inspiration!” — Participant in Cypher (Artist Project)

 

Jumped Up Theatre offers performance opportunities as part of their activities. See an example of a Bollywood dance performance by workshop participants here:

Jumped Up Theatre believe that access to the arts – as audience, participants, co-creators and artists – can result in improved outcomes for health, education, inclusion, social cohesion, economic growth and life-enhancing leisure, for individuals, communities, society and the environment.

Jumped Up Theatre receives financial support from National Lottery funding, including Arts Council England, the Heritage Lottery Fund, and various trusts and foundations, most notably Esmée Fairbairn and Garfield Weston Foundations through their partnerships with Battersea Arts Centre.

Jumped Up Theatre run a range of projects for community members and to support local artists. Some examples of their projects include:

  • Free workshops like Dance Included, guided movement and conversation sessions open to adults who want a judgement-free space to connect with their bodies.
  • Co-creating shows with local people and homegrown artists, such as Style Stories campaign, celebrating young people’s creativity and encouraging sustainable fashion choices in Peterborough.
  • Encouraging young people to develop their creativity by providing hands-on opportunities for networking, skill development, and co-creation – like the New Creatives project. In collaboration with local artists.
  • Commissioning innovative and game-changing touring projects as part of the Collaborative Touring Network.
  • Working with artists, arts organisations and community groups to develop their skills and practise, including hosting the Peterborough Culture Forum.
