We are 21!!!!!

❤️ It’s Valentine’s Day and our Birthday  🎉🎂🎁💐🎈

Today 21 years ago, when we were 21 and had just left Uni together when we formed The Paper Birds. We were friends with maxed out overdrafts and an enormous passion to make devised theatre together. We were curious, determined and fearless. Other friends might want to backpack around the world, but we wanted to drive a battered old van up and down the UK, performing our shows in village halls and half empty studios. Everything was an adventure because we were together.

21 years later the adventures continue, only now we’re accompanied by a bigger team and our own children!  We have so much more we want to do with the company and have so many brilliant things happening this year to mark our special birthday, like our new Careers Package Navigate, the Feel Me tour and of course we’ll be coming full circle when we return to University to deliver our own MA and look to inspire others to develop their own socially engaged artistic practise.

We’ll be sharing memories and highlights throughout the year as well as letting you know how you can get involved in our celebrations.

We look forward to sharing the year with you and hope you join us on our journey as we continue to celebrate the power of friendship! ❤️

Empathy Spaces - FEEL ME R&D

We’re delighted to be commencing Empathy Spaces, the R&D for our next show, FEEL ME.

As you’ll probably remember, we’ve been on the hunt for 8 emerging artists to join us for this process, and we’re delighted to confirm that we have our team of exceptional artists in place! As of Monday 28 November 2022, we’ll be taking part in a 2-week residency at Sherborne International School and will begin looking at how we can create ‘spaces of empathy’ for live and digital audiences.

At the same time, our friends and project partners at Padepokan Seni Bagong Kussudiardja are working with, and mentoring, their own group of exciting young artists. Over the fortnight we’ll be coming together online to share our work and consider how theatre can bring together people from different backgrounds, cultures and ethnicities to enjoy shared experiences and dialogue. Not only do we plan to gain a greater understanding and appreciation for each other and our many lived experiences, but we’ll also begin to develop content for our next show, FEEL ME, which will tour in 2023.

Empathy will be not only the artistic theme and inspiration for the project, but also embedded at the heart of our approach. We’ll be working with a host of artists and speakers who’ll be coming in to present and work with us to consider how we use empathy for positive social change. If this isn’t enough, we’re also working with a host of Youth Creative Councils in the UK and Indonesia, made up of young people aged 13 – 30 who will work with us to help us form the show, as well as consider how we engage our audiences in, FEEL ME – starting off with our first session at the New Wolsey Theatre.

Thank you to our funders & partners: British Council, Arts Council England & Theatre Centre.

LAUNCHING OUR INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS FOR THE SCHOOL OF HOPE

We’ve got another quick update for you on The School of Hope (TSoH)! We’ve now commissioned all the artists for the project (news on who they are coming soon) and along with them, as you may have already seen over on our social media channels, we’ve been busy creating film briefs for the young artists taking part.

The project will be kicking off in just a few weeks’ time and the young creatives will be using the briefs to artistically explore who they are, how they connect with the world and question what changes need to be made.

We’re teaming up with Cast, Mercury Theatre, the National Theatre, Sheffield Theatres and Theatre Centre in the UK to deliver the project and we’re delighted to announce that we’ll also be linking up with young makers from Vancouver International Children’s Festival, in Canada, Boom Arts in the USA, Victoria Deluxe in Belgium and Padepokan Seni Bagong Kussudiardja (PSBK) in Indonesia.

We can’t wait for these young makers from across the world to come together to create, explore, experiment, and connect and look forward to their manifestos of hope.

UK PARTNERS ANNOUNCED FOR THE SCHOOL OF HOPE

We’ve got some more exciting news to share about our latest project, The School of Hope!

The School of Hope (TSoH) is all about ‘empathy’, which in itself is a massive and complex term, but at the heart of the project is our desire to help the young people participating to begin to creatively explore who they are, what is unique and special about them and how they understand themselves in relation to others. We’re currently commissioning young artists from different artforms and diverse backgrounds to work with us on the project to build confidence and creativity in the young people.

Through a series of films, provocations and creative tutorials they’ll be reflecting on their values and beliefs and those of different communities and countries. We’ll be encouraging them to creatively shape their thoughts into artistic outputs, which they’ll share with us and their moments will be fused into a short film which will premiere in the autumn. Ultimately, we hope to enable those involved to feel connected, empowered and driven to aspire for a better world and creatively share their visions through their own artistic lens.

And to do all of this we’ll be working with academics from three universities and a number of partner organisations nationally and internationally. Our UK partners span the country and we’ll be working with young people in the north through our partner organisations Cast in Doncaster and Sheffield Theatres. We’re also joining forces in the East with Mercury Theatre in Colchester and the Theatre Centre and the National Theatre, in London.

More news will follow soon about our international partners and the whole team that makes up The School of Hope.

Thank you to The Garfield Weston Foundation, The Rayne Foundation, British Council and to Arts Council England for funding The School of Hope and helping us to tap into the innate creativity we believe each young person possesses.

THE SCHOOL OF HOPE IS OPEN!

We’re so excited to launch our new socially engaged, digital arts project – The School of Hope! It’s created for young people aged 13-25 and is based on the theme of empathy. The School of Hope aims to improve the wellbeing of young people by giving them a meaningful and empowering platform to address the isolation they and others have experienced in the last year.

We’re teaming up with academics to plan and measure the impact of a series of 5 ‘digital lessons’ which will be delivered by our partner venues, festivals and youth theatres throughout the UK and around the world. At the heart of each lesson will be a bespoke artwork, of varying artforms, commissioned and created by us and 4 diverse British artists. The young people taking part will experience these artworks, as well as undertaking tasks, discussions, and activities before creating their own artworks in response to each lesson.

A filmmaker will fuse their artworks to create a short global story about empathy, which you’ll all be able to enjoy when it premieres in autumn 2021.

Thank you to The Garfield Weston Foundation, The Rayne Foundation, British Council and to Arts Council England for funding The School of Hope and helping us to tap into the innate creativity we believe each young person possesses, to help harness their talents, increase their levels of empathy and improve their wellbeing.

COVID 1 YEAR ROUND UP

We can all agree it’s been an unforgettable 12 months. Life in the UK changed dramatically on 23rd March 2020 when we went into the first national lockdown, and Covid’s heart-breaking affects echoed across the world. These affects hit communities in so many ways, as we were forced to question everything we knew about day-to-day life.

As a small independent arts charity, The Paper Birds have certainly felt these drastic changes, and we’ve been forced to adapt and respond. We’ve been consistently amazed and inspired by the resilience and determination of all those we’ve worked with over the past year.

Now, one year on, we’re taking some time to reflect. We are all still grieving in countless numbers of ways, as Covid-19 continues to affect our health, our communities, our education and our livelihoods.

We’re so grateful to have connected and felt the love and support of so many people over the last year, even throughout the months of isolation, protest and constant challenges. Thank you to every single person who gave their time and energy to join us for a workshop or webinar, and continued to stand up for what they believe in. Thank you to all the teachers, parents and carers who have worked tirelessly to make sure young people keep learning creatively. Thanks to our Board and all our Individual Giving donors, for consistently going above and beyond. Thank you to everyone who has supported a friend, a loved one or a stranger during these crazy times.

It is The Paper Birds’ mission to change the world, one encounter at a time. While that’s not been easy over the last 12 months, we’re looking back with gratitude and looking forward to the future.

Here’s to a brighter, safer and more positive future.

Love,
Jemma, Kylie, Charlotte, Georgie, Jus & Katie x

ASK ME ANYTHING PREVIEWS AT LIVE THEATRE THIS JULY

Our brand-spanking new show Ask Me Anything is now on sale. Have you ever wanted to ask something really important, embarrassing, private, mundane? If you could ask anything about growing up, what would it be? Welcome to the 90s, a place of house phones, pen pals and dial up internet. A time where problem pages in magazines taught teenage girls, like us, about the world.    Building on the immersive and intimate nature of Mobile (2016) Ask Me Anything is a collaboration with singer/songwriter Rosie Doonan about finding your voice and being heard. Set in a multitude of teenage bedrooms, Ask Me Anything is an immersive, 360, theatrical experience. From Jackie to Just Seventeen, teenagers have been turning to agony aunts and problem pages for centuries; but now, with the world at their fingertips and 3.5 billion daily searches on Google alone, is there anything young people don’t know (or can’t find out)? We asked teenagers to write to us and ask us anything. Nothing is off limits. This show is our reply. With music, movement and mayhem we explore what it means to grow up in 2019. It looks at what we can teach the next generation and, more importantly, what they can teach us. Ask Me Anything previews at Live Theatre (Newcastle) on 11 – 13 July. Tickets are just £6-£8 and can be bought online at www.live.org.uk or by calling the box office on 0191 232 1232.
