_Manaton and East Dartmoor Theatre (MED Theatre) Registered Charity no: 1119302, Limited Company no: 6054887 Main operating premises and registered office: 11a New Street, Moretonhampstead TQ13 8PE Registered office and operating premises from August 2024: 21 Fairy Lane, Buckfastleigh TQ11 ODP_
## **Background**
MED Theatre is a developmental community theatre organisation working to help people who live in remote rural locations in Devon find new ways to raise their aspirations and make the best of where they live. We know that engaging in the performing arts – in a way that is connected to their surroundings – helps people see themselves and the world differently. The objects of the charity are: to improve, develop and maintain public education in and appreciation of the arts and sciences of drama by the performance of original plays created by and for the locality and by such other means as the company through its board shall from time to time determine for the benefit of the Dartmoor area and the public at large.
## **Introduction**
The year between July 2023 and June 2024 was fairly straight forward with regards to projects and artistic outputs, with the organisation focusing on our core work, a Paul Hamlyn Foundation funded education programme, ‘What If…?’, our Heritage Lottery Funded project, and on writing a great number of funding applications.
Some changes in staff hours required some consideration with regards to availability and capacity, but MED Theatre’s collaborative approach enabled us to continue delivering all funded and core work, including regular young people’s sessions in three locations, school workshops, an intergenerational community play, a young people’s festival, and a fundraising Ceilidh event.
Funding continued to be this year, and remains an issue for the organisation. With higher levels of competition and specific areas of focus being major factors in funders’ decisionmaking, MED Theatre has found it increasingly difficult to obtain core cost funding over the past year. Some changes will therefore be made in the coming year to ensure the company remains sustainable; as an organisation we are excited for these changes and the new opportunities that will become open to us.
## **ARTISTIC ACTIVITIES**
## **‘Devon’s War Girls’ - 2024 Summer Library Tour**
We were delighted to be able to tour ‘Devon’s War Girls’ once again this summer to Devon libraries, commissioned by Libraries Unlimited. We visited Bideford, Colyton, and Ivybridge libraries and performed the show to over 120 people in total across the three shows.

## **“What If…?” A Heritage Lottery Fund supported project**
‘What if…?’ was an in-depth exploration of the historical impact humans have had on the planet and the Dartmoor landscape since the hunter-gatherer era. We asked the questions: What if the introduction of farming and deforestation in Devon had never happened? What if the road building of the Improvers on Dartmoor and the digging of peat for fuel hadn’t happened? How would our landscape look now, and what would our current-day life be like?
This ‘research into performance’ project used a combination of educational, artistic, and research activities to investigate the local history of the climate crisis with Devon communities. It lead to exciting creative and educative interpretations including a young people’s festival of plays and a rural touring intergenerational community play. Below are all of the project outputs.
## **1. Young people’s research process and residential**
MED Theatre are invited 13-19 year olds for some free activities at our new fantastic partner’s outdoor site in the Teign Valley called ‘On the Hill’. The one day experience in October 2023, with a follow up three day residential experience in May facilitated the teens to immerse themselves in times gone by. This was a truly different opportunity to what we have offered before inviting young people to live “off-grid” and experience what life may have been like in Mesolithic times. Together, the participants learnt about prehistoric people’s relationship to food, landscape and survival but also considering their own connection to nature and outdoors with the aim to making a change in daily attitudes and actions. The discussions and explorations fed in to the rest of the project exploring hunter-gatherer culture, before humans settled to grow crops and work animals. To kick off their learning in this area, the project began with a ethnographic workshop from archaeologist Emma Stockley who is a specialist in this period of time on Dartmoor.
## **2. Young people’s festival of new work**
In November 2023 MED Theatre hosted DartFest, a festival of young people’s work. This year the focus was taken from the ‘What If…?’ project. It saw Wild Nights Young Company performing alongside Bright Lights _and_ Bright Nights Drama Group for the first time, with Wild Nights devising a piece from scratch, and Bright Nights editing an original MED Theatre play that explored the shift from hunting-gathering to farming. Both of these provoked thought around the way humans live on the land, and the impact that this has on the environment and global warming.
## **3. Community Play production - ‘The Experiment’**
We were back on tour in March 2024 with our latest production. The play was part of the wider ‘What If…?’ project and explored themes around living in the wild and whether human instinct to survive would drive a group of young people, alone on the moor, would revert back to the ways of hunter gatherers. The play was performed by a cast of 13 young people and 13 adults, and for 8 of the cast it was their first time performing in a community play with MED Theatre.
The tour took us to Manaton Parish Hall, Winkleigh Village Hall, Buckfast Southpark Community Centre, and Moretonhampstead Parish Hall, and was met with very positive feedback. We also experimented for the first time with holding a relaxed performance as a matinee show which proved very popular and brought in new audience members to our work. We therefore intend to hold further matinee/relaxed performances in future tours.

## **4. Community Creative Research Walk and Coffee Morning**
On 20th April 2024 we hosted a talk and walk in the Postbridge area, with research provided by two archaeologists, Emma Stockley and Dr. Laura Bassell. The day was attended by 38 people of varying ages, and was held on a beautifully sunny day, allowing us to take our time exploring the prehistoric features in the landscape above Bellever Forest. Refreshments were also provided by the kitchen team at East Dart Inn, and the room in which the talk was held was packed to capacity.

## **COMMUNITY AND ADULTS’ ACTIVITIES**
## **Christmas Ceilidh**
Once again we invited members of the local community to join us for a festive ceilidh in the Parish Hall, after the Moretonhampstead Christmas Lights Switch On event. Some members of our young groups also shared short improvised scenes, and music was once again provided by the Moretonhampstead Community Folk Orchestra. This fundraising event is an annual opportunity to bring the community together and to raise MED Theatre’s profile and promote our current work.

## **Mothers Who Make**
We have now been running the Dartmoor Mothers Who Make group for over three years and it has become a growing network of creative mothers (or those who consider themselves a mother in any sense). Over the last year we have begun to host these meetings every other month, and workshops on offer have included Christmas wreath making, storytelling, and improvisation.
## **Adults’ Creative Group**
MED Theatre continued to host Adult’s Creative group sessions intermittently. This year a lot of the focus has been on scripts and playwriting. The October group focused on reading from a selection of MED Theatre script excerpts for a brief rehearsal with a partner, which was then followed by a script-in-hand sharing session. The script excerpts were chosen by Abby and Helen from our archive of over 50 plays, mostly written by Mark Beeson, but also included some requested pieces. In December, MED Theatre hosted a first play reading of The Experiment - the new 2024 community play. It was a great turn out, with several new faces too! Due to the high demands of the community play, and the fact that most of the regular attendees of the Adults creative group were in the play, MED Theatre took a break from delivering the group during the early part of 2024.

## **YOUTH ACTIVITIES**
## **Tuesday groups in Moretonhampstead**
MED Theatre’s after school groups in Moretonhampstead continue as our main offer for young people living on, or near, Dartmoor. Rising Lights (5-7s), Bright Lights (8-10s), Bright Nights (10-12s) and Wild Nights Young Company all take place on Tuesday afternoons or evenings during term time, and the groups are all well attended with a high number of registered participants. This year every participant was asked to join as a Member for £20, with bursary places for those unable to afford the payment, which was well received.
## **Princetown Drama Group**
Though not currently funded, we have managed to continue our fortnightly after school session at Princetown primary using core cost funding. This group, though small, is meaningful with regards to its impact on the school and participants. The school is very supportive of the sessions and list the group on their programme of after-school clubs. This year has seen some new students attending the group, and has also supported a young girl with selective mutism to access these sessions.

## **Chagford Youth Group (On The Edge) commissioned sessions**
MED Theatre’s Wednesday evening sessions in Chagford, paid for by CELT, also continued this year. The participants, who are members of the Chagford Youth Club, have made short films, written scripts, and developed performance and improvisation skills. This year, we have run these sessions with one practitioner, assisted in the space by the local youth worker, and past MED Theatre young person, Ellie Head. This year has also seen a growth in participants, and now averages 9 regular attendees (with 13 on the register).

## **Monday Groups in Braunton (North Devon)**
Our groups in Braunton have continued to grow in strength and numbers. We now have three groups taking place on a Monday during term time - Kits (5-7s), Otters (8-11s), and Tarka Otter Young Company (12-19s). The groups have created and performed original work to their friends and family, as well as developing their own myths and plays from scratch. They have used shadow puppetry, audio recording equipment, movement and sound workshops, and physical drama. The sessions have been run by Evie, MED Theatre’s Education and Outreach Officer, and a local freelancer to Braunton. We hope to be able to continue these groups in the new school year with local freelancers in the leading role.
## **EDUCATION PROGRAMME**
It has been another incredibly busy year for the education programme at MED Theatre. Our Paul Hamlyn funded project (see below) was in its final months, and we also received commissions from local schools. We returned once more to Hatherleigh primary school to work with a consortium of local schools on a creative writing project, and were invited to lead a workshop with students at South Dartmoor Community College. We have also been delivering work for DAISI’s Talking Turns project this year, another Paul Hamlyn funded project that took place in schools across Torbay. This work included a course in Brunel School, a specialist provision setting for young people who have been excluded or struggle to attend mainstream schools. We also held a pilot drama session at The Outdoors School Group, which led to their being a part of our _Developing Drama in Rural Devon Schools_ project.
MED Theatre has continued to run weekly sessions with Running Deer specialist school and Torquay Academy’s SEN department. These have been very rewarding, although at times challenging, sessions, and have continued to highlight the importance of the use of the arts in these settings for personal development as well as self-expression.
## **Paul Hamlyn Foundation Project**
MED Theatre is now nearing the end of our _Drama Development in Rural Devon Schools_ project, funded by the Paul Hamlyn Foundation. The project offered an opportunity for MED Theatre to work closely with a selection of primary and secondary schools in rural
6
Devon to develop our strategy for embedding arts-based learning into the curriculum. This year we worked in one secondary school, two specialist provision schools, and six primary schools, leading playwriting and performance or media courses. An additional transition project with a group of primary schools, the Foundry schools, was also carried out in June, with the schools coming together at the National Trust’s Finch Foundry, followed by filmmaking workshops in each primary setting. The theme of this day was identity, and we explored the importance of being proud of where you come from as you transition into a new school.
## **International Agatha Christie Festival commission**
This year we began work on a commission by the International Agatha Christie Festival to lead on the facilitation of the Write Now element of the festival. This involved six writing workshops in three schools, and an additional workshop in the MED Theatre studio for Dartmoor based young people. The project will see one more workshop taking place with local writer Bea Roberts before culminating in a sharing of the young people’s original writing in September 2024.
## **University workshops**
Plymouth University’s Conservatoire invited us back to work with their students in November 2023. We ran two sessions in their studios, giving students an insight into MED Theatre’s style of using location and heritage to inspire community theatre, and we explored applied theatre techniques that they could transfer into future work.
In May 2024 we once again hosted a group of students from Exeter University’s MA Creative Education course. The students joined us in Moretonhampstead where we explored the local area and MED Theatre’s method of working, through taking inspiration from the local history, ecology and landscape, and bringing together the human and non-human.
## **Work Experience, Young Volunteers and Placement Students**
MED Theatre continues to support young people with school and university placements, as well as supporting mature students with university placements and case studies.
In July Amy and Lillie, from Okehampton College completed a week of work experience at MED Theatre. “This work experience was very beneficial to us because it showed us what it's like to work in theatre, with the behind the scenes jobs which can really bring performances to life. Overall, it was an enjoyable week doing a variety of different tasks and jobs for MED Theatre, and it was interesting to learn about the company's backstory, as well as meeting amazing new people.”
October saw Phoebe join MED Theatre from the University of Plymouth for a placement of two months. Phoebe was involved with the process of both the 2023 DartFest and the Fundraising Ceilidh.
As part of his Plymouth University degree placement, Lee Boyle joined the MED Theatre team throughout the 2024 community play process, taking on the role of production assistant. He was involved in the planning processes, organisational and practical delivery tasks, as well as performing in the play.
MED Theatre also regularly supports students with the DoE work experience, five in total this year, and school placements.

Holiday Clubs
This year MED Theatre ran a pilot of summer school holiday drama sessions for ages 5-
8's and then also 8-12's. This was a great success, and as a result MED Theatre has run
both Easter and Half-term holiday drama sessions. These groups have attracted a rnix of
regular attendees, but also brought some new faces to MED Theatre. It has reached both
school educated and home educated children. These sessions have focused on a wide
range of mediums from movement workshop, stop-motion, puppetry, shadow puppetry,
and drama.

The Financial Situation
It has been a difficult year in terms of fundraising from grant-making bodies, and the
decision was taken to transition to a new model of workin& giving up the rented studio
premises at the end of August 2024 and holding our young people's groups in
Moretonhampstead Parish Hall from September 2024. We have been offered a space in
The Bell, Moretonhampstead, once renovations are complete in Spring 2025.
