Gemma Smith – Take A Part
Gemma has worked in the arts in Plymouth for 10 years. Over that time her work has crossed many different disciplines and involved a range of projects as diverse as community radio, public art, theatre, sculpture, mass dance, stone carving, tour guiding and orchestral outreach.
Always at the heart of these projects has been a desire to work with people, to support new audiences and communities to experience and enjoy artwork for the first time or to grow their passion for the arts in a new direction.
Gemma has worked with Take A Part for the last 9 years; starting as programme coordinator before moving on to become creative education producer with a specific focus on delivering the ‘Crazy Glue’ arts group programme and developing connections to creative organisations and opportunities with schools.
Gemma is Plymouth born and bred and with many fingers in many pies she is an individual with a passion for the arts, a desire to support the local scene to cross-pollinate, share projects and flourish, and to then share this local knowledge more widely to shine a light on Plymouth and grow the reach of the work to other areas of the region and beyond.
Helen Bovey (Artistic Director) & Victoria Horan (Lead Artist) – Above Bounds
Above Bounds are a children’s theatre company based in Plymouth, Devon, making exciting shows for children under 11 & their families. We make theatre for young people, with young people, telling big stories and small stories in fun, playful and visually innovative ways. We believe theatre is for everyone and make events which are affordable, accessible and easy for our audiences to get to. We take our magical kids shows to theatres, community centres, libraries, art galleries, museums and more! Magical moments can happen anywhere, and we like to surprise and mesmerise audiences with our giant puppets, popping up on streets, parks & festivals near you. We perform all across the UK, not just in the beautiful county of Devon and our online events reach families across the Globe.
In 2020, Helen Bovey was awarded a grant through the Cultural Investment Fund, supported by Plymouth Culture and other Arts Council England National portfolio organisations in the City, to investigate and explore how family audiences engage with theatre through digital and live means, if the two platforms can be connected and if digital theatre will continue to be an asset for families on the other side of the pandemic. Helen has called a session with other Family Arts Leaders in the City to discuss the research further, and to question and interrogate how family arts is seen by the wider industry.
