DARK HORSE THEATRE

CHAIR’S REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

2021-22 saw Dark Horse continuing to navigate the global pandemic as lockdown restrictions continued to fluctuate with the arrival of new variants. The company’s adaptability stood it in good stead, working creatively across live, online and recorded media to continue making its mark to the arts regionally and nationally.

For people with learning disabilities, Covid-19 presented particular challenges and so Dark Horse continued to make innovative and prolific online training provision for the students, which was also open to all. This built on the educational and creative explorations during the first year of the pandemic, and we were delighted when our trilogy of short films #OutBreakOut (originally commissioned by Huddersfield Literature Festival) was selected for the Together! 2021 Disability Film Festival.

The Dark Horse actors remained in demand for film, television and theatre roles, and contributed significantly to the Separate Doors project, disseminating the Silent Approach to the wider theatre industry. The company also continued to offer bespoke training to South Yorkshire Police, Huddersfield University and ALRA undergraduates.

The standout highlight of our year was undoubtedly the development showings of our forthcoming production #Unit21. It was fantastic to be able to welcome audiences back to live theatre and to share the work-in-progress with them. The feedback was excellent, and Amy and the actors continue to hone this groundbreaking show ahead of its tour in early 2023.

Dark Horse has emerged from the pandemic with a renewed sense of tenacity, creativity and versatility. On behalf of the Board, I would like to send our deepest gratitude to the staff, actors and students for their resilience and energy throughout difficult times, and we look forward to exciting times ahead.

DARK HORSE THEATRE

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

INTRODUCTION

Dark Horse Theatre is a company with the ability to inspire change. It continues to be a leader in its field and has a reputation for innovation, excellence and for pushing boundaries. Its actor training, performance and working opportunities give equality of opportunity whilst it continuously shares its mission to ensure that more actors with a learning disability are seen on screen and in theatres across the UK, building awareness and challenging perceptions.

Dark Horse:

The company continues to evolve and thrive and is proud of its’ achievements and levels of engagement, output and sustainability particularly during the global pandemic.

Despite all the uncertainty that followed the Coronavirus pandemic the company successfully adapted its artistic and business models and key aims identified for Dark Horse in the year 2021/22 were to:

OBJECTIVES AND AIMS

The objects of the charity are the promotion of education and training in music, theatre and the performing arts in particular enabling adults with learning disabilities to become independent and take control of their own lives, opening up opportunities for training and employment.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

With the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic still being felt and following new government guidance, Dark Horse’s doors opened part way from April 2021, with a blended approach to actor training and performance development as people slowly came out of isolation.

Due to the increased vulnerability of the learning disabled community additional and extended safety measures were kept in place being slowly lifted as confidence grew.

Everyone was delighted to be back and it was a reminder, if one was needed, of the value that being connected and creative in a room with others brings.

Because Dark Horse had continued with much of its work throughout, albeit some of it reimagined, there was much to do and plans that had been made or put on hold were now able to be executed.

As we welcomed new student actors to the training course, an immersive experience of The Garden used the film, created by student actors in lockdown and water colour images, created by Designer, Pip Leckenby, in an exhibition which took place over 2 weekends in July on the Piazza in Huddersfield Town Centre. Members of the public popped into the 'Meanwhile Space' that we had continued use of, provided free of charge by Temporary Contemporary in partnership with Kirklees Council.

Having postponed the planned tour of #Unit21, a development showing of ‘work to date’ featuring 9 company actors with learning disabilities at our home venue, LBT in February 2022 was a huge success. It gave valuable feedback for further development and, with support in place and a grant from Arts Council England the show will tour regionally in early 2023, opening at LBT, our home venue, before touring to The Lowry, Chester Storyhouse, The Junction, Goole and Leeds Conservatoire.

A further iteration of the project as a nightclub event in partnership with Beautiful Octopus Club and Kirklees Year of Music 2023 is also planned for later in the year.

As well as being centre stage in Dark Horse’s own work a growing number of Dark Horse’s company actors have been auditioning and being cast in external work, including theatre productions, TV and film. Following the cancellation of the tour of Ramps on the Moon’s Oliver Twist, Dark Horse actor Rebekah Hill worked with other members of the cast and creative team to film the show, which is now part of NT Live. Joe Sproulle was also cast in Shane Meadows new BBC drama The Gallows Pole and Zackary Krupinski worked on Gentleman Jack. Firielle Al’ Jubeh was also cast in Khashabi Theatre’s international production MILK.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

While giving focus to an ambitious programe of new productions, the company’s new Business Plan also concentrates energy into the rebuilding and development of place making and the engagement of more people than ever before. Established and new links with schools, colleges, festivals and events form part of the company’s work each year and, coming back from the pandemic we were pleased to work with Chester Storyhouse, Cultures of Place, Separate Doors and Harrogate Grammar School as well as many others to deliver performance work showcasing actors and students to a wider audience.

A mixed income portfolio ensures that the company is sustainable and while the demand for funding is extremely competitive we are grateful for the support from a wide variety of sources including Arts Council England, Igen Trust, Rank Foundation and Awards for All. Earned income coming from commissions and tickets sales as well as police and nurse training.

Public benefit

The trustees have complied with the duty under section 17(5) of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to Charity Commission guidance on public benefit when deciding what activities should be undertaken by the charity.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

RESERVES POLICY AND REVIEW

At year end the charity unrestricted reserves had decreased to £69,273 (2021: £112,192).

The Coronavirus pandemic highlighted the importance of the trustees aim to maintain a healthy level of reserves. At least 6 months of expenditure, to cover working capital requirements to enable the company to continue its charitable activities during short term funding gaps and to pay for time sensitive one off projects that help to further the work of the company. Additionally, the trustees have also agreed that any actor or student from a socio economically deprived background will have their fees wholly or partially waived – no one will be excluded because of inability to pay fees. The current level of reserves also takes into account uncertainty about return to business as usual post the Coronavirus pandemic. Some reserves have been allocated to pay for consultancy and the development of a new Business Plan and development work and the Unit 21 showing rescheduled to February 2022.

Beyond that investment and sound planning and timely fundraising should ensure that the company continues to be resilient and that the appropriate level of reserves is maintained.

FUTURE PROJECTS

As mentioned there is much to be positive about in the future programme of work which includes the tour of #Unit21 in early 2023, the potential re launch of Young Company – IGNITE later in the year. Rejuvenated and new connections for performance and engagement opportunities in the future include Huddersfield Literature Festival and Holmfirth Arts Festival as examples.
