This is SAVVY

Welcome to SAVVY
Centre Stage
Stepping Stones Pinocchio Project

SAVVY created ambitious inclusive  productions and  theatre  experiences that brought different groups of people together. We believed everyone had the right to  access quality theatre  and  taking part  was at the heart of what we did.

As an inclusive theatre company, it was important that we provided a range of opportunities for  everyone  to Take Part, whether it was performing in one of our ongoing weekly groups, as an artist working or training with us, a participant or partner in one of our special projects, or as audience coming to experience our shows.  

 

​The company was founded in 2007 by  Sheree Vickers  who wanted to challenge audience and cultural perceptions of participatory theatre. Going to the theatre shouldn't be a chore. It shouldn't be something you are forced to do because you happen to know someone in the cast.

It should be invigorating, memorable, exciting, challenging, uplifting and fun. It should make you want to come back.

 

SAVVY was committed to developing innovative, ensemble-based theatre shows, special projects and artist training programmes, that built the bridge to engagement and provided  access  to  quality  work.

 

SAVVY was a place where everyone was welcomed and involved and trained.

SAVVY Theatre's  vision  was to use the  power of theatre  and shared creation to deepen understanding and empathy towards others, and as a force to  steer change  and develop  inclusive  communities.
