1 Introduction

In the summer of 2021, MAT staged the world premiere of a new
play, Descent by David Calcutt and Sarah Sayeed. The play was
scheduled for the previous year, but had been delayed due to the
pandemic. The production was given a two-week run in a site-
specific venue, the Lampworks, a former factory in Birmingham’s
Jewellery Quarter.

The audience & critical response to the production was
overwhelmingly positive. Elise Evans (Radio WM) described it as
a “brilliant piece of theatre.” In an extended review for
“IAMBIRMINGHAM,” Rangzeb Hussain praised this "stark and daring
new drama ... a unique theatrical journey." A number of audience
members posted reviews online; comments included: “…the setting
was darkly haunting and amazing and the use of the space
extremely imaginative.”

“Dark, tough, but wonderful to be part of. … Like theatre
should be.”

“HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Incredible setting … VERY emotional and
an absolute must see.”

“A theatre piece for our times. Outstanding cast … One of
the best theatrical experiences I've seen.”

The company has continued its work in different fields,
including two Erasmus Plus projects, on the Commission Model of
Teaching, and Rolling Role. MAT is lead partner in both projects,
with partners in Turkey, Portugal, Germany, Poland, Spain and
the UK. In November 2021, we were able to resume “in person”
meetings, with a three-day event in Porto. A significant
development has been the creation of the Facebook group, The
Commission Model of Teaching. First launched in July 2020, it
features daily posts on the work of Dorothy Heathcote, and has
grown to 1200+ members. The success of the FB group has raised
our profile, and we have developed new contacts in Europe, India,
Singapore, Hong Kong, and elsewhere.

The Erasmus Plus project outcomes are published on the website
www.mantlenetwork.com. In 2021, the number of visits was 2073 –
an increase of 237% on the previous year; and in 2022, there has
been another increase, of 15%. The MAT youtube channel has also
grown significantly, in subscribers and number of views.

In October 2021, we co-organised a 3-day conference with
Birmingham City University, called Dorothy Heathcote Now. 80
delegates attend in person and another 45 online. A special
issue of The Journal for Drama in Education, published by the
National Association for the Teaching of Drama, was issued to
coincide with the conference, and included articles about the
Erasmus Plus projects. Another Dorothy Heathcote Now conference
is planned for November 2022.

We have undertaken two projects with funding from Birmingham
City Council, called “Dreaming Museums.” We worked with school-
based groups in several venues; participants created art work
inspired by local heritage sites, such as Sarehole Mill and Soho
House. The results were published on the project website,
www.dreamingmuseums.com. In these projects, we continued our
working relationship with Professor Carl Chinn.

We can celebrate a year of great success in our educational and
our theatrical work, which has raised our profile as a company,
both nationally and internationally.

2 Descent

In the summer of 2021, we staged the world premiere of a new
play, Descent by David Calcutt and Sarah Sayeed. The play was
scheduled for the previous year, but had been delayed due to the
pandemic. The production was given a two-week run in a site-

The audience & critical response to the production was
overwhelmingly positive. Elise Evans (Radio WM) described it as
a “brilliant piece of theatre.” In an extended review for
“IAMBIRMINGHAM,” Rangzeb Hussain praised this "stark and daring
new drama ... a unique theatrical journey." A number of audience
members posted reviews online; comments included:

We made increased use of social media in promoting the
production, including youtube, Instagram, and Facebook. Facebook
posts alone reached over 31,000 people. We organised an
innovative online “seminar” series in the run-up to the
production, attracting an impressive line-up of speakers
including academics and practitioners; topics covered different
aspects of the play, such as: “Myths of Descent” and “The Drama
of the Word.” This helped to raise awareness of the production,
but its impact was wider, in raising our profile, and informing
our own thinking about our work, through dialogue with
specialists in other fields. One of the speakers, Professor
Gwenyth Hood of Marshall University, wrote an extended review
and analysis of the play, which has been published on our
website.

The project enabled us to experiment with form, in particular:
the creation of work that is site-specific; the development of
immersive experiences for the audience; the integration of
different artistic elements and art forms, and the combination
of sound, word, image, and space. Descent has increased our
reputation for innovative work. We are hoping to tour the
production in the future.

3 Erasmus Plus

In October 2019, we began an Erasmus Plus project on Dorothy
Heathcote’s Commission Model of Teaching. MAT is lead partner,
working with a range of other partners in Turkey, Portugal,
Germany, Poland and the UK. We were able to resume in-person
meetings, with an event in Porto in November 2021.

In 2020, we began another Erasmus Plus project, this time looking
at Dorothy’s Rolling Role system, with partners in Spain, Italy,
Poland and the UK.

We have continued to promote both projects through the Facebook
group, The Commission Model of Teaching, first launched in July
2020. it features daily posts on Dorothy’s work of Dorothy’s
work, and has grown to 1200+ members. The success of the FB
group has raised our profile, and we have developed new contacts
in Europe, India, Singapore, Hong Kong, and elsewhere.

The Erasmus Plus project outcomes are published on the website
www.mantlenetwork.com. In 2021, the number of visits was 2073 –
an increase of 237% on the previous year; and in 2022, there has
been another increase, of 15%. The MAT youtube channel has also
grown significantly, in subscribers and number of views. In
part, this is a result of the synergy between the different
internet platforms, and also our involvement in activities and
events such as the Dorothy Heathcote Now conference. We have
played a significant role in reawakening interest in Dorothy’s
work.

4 Dorothy Heathcote Now

MAT was co-organiser with Birmingham City University of the 3-
day Dorothy Heathcote Now conference, held at BCU. 80 delegates
attended in person, and another 45 online. 11 videos of the
event have been published on the MAT youtube channel; they have
reached up to 350 views.

The National Association for the Teaching of Drama (NATD)
produced a special “Dorothy Heathcote” issue of the
organisation’s Journal, to coincide with the conference. It
included an article by David Allen.

8

David was also interviewed about the conference by Tom Craig,
for the “Applied Theatre” podcast:

conference

Another Dorothy Heathcote Now conference is planned for November
2022.

David was invited by London Drama / National Drama to present
an online talk on “Mantle of the Expert”; and he also gave a
talk on “The Iconic, Symbolic, and Expressive Modes in Language
Learning” as part of the “Drama Days” event organised by the
German drama association, dramapaedagokik.de. He has also
convened monthly online Dorothy Heathcote seminars.

In April 2021, a group was formed to develop the Dorothy
Heathcote Archive, currently housed in Manchester Metropolitan
University. A new home needs to be found for the Archive in a
library; and materials need to be digitised. The group is led
by David Allen; it includes leading members of the drama in
education world, including the Chairs of the two UK drama
associations, NATD and National Drama.

5 “Dreaming Museums”

We undertook two projects funded by Birmingham City Council,
with the title Dreaming Museums. We worked with groups in six
different schools. There was a history and an arts focus: each
group focused on a local museum or heritage site (such as
Sarehole Mill, Soho House and the Pen Museum). Carl Chinn acted
as historical consultant. Participants produced artwork inspired
by the heritage site, through drama, music, prop-making, story
writing, etc. Their work is featured in an online “exhibition,”
as a kind of “virtual museum,” on the website
www.dreamingmuseums.com. (The image above was produced by a
student at George Dixon Academy.)

10

The second project culminated in an event at George Dixon
Academy, where groups came together, to share their work.

6 Future Plans

Our future plans include:

7 Funding

In 2021-2, we received funding from National Lottery Heritage
Fund, Arts Council England, the British Council (Erasmus Plus),
and Birmingham City Council.

A full breakdown of income and expenditure for 2021-2 can be
found in our Financial Statements.
