Chair's report for the year ended 31 March 2022

This past year has further demonstrated that Wildworks, led by a committed leadership, has forged a clear, distinct and hugely valued place within the ecology of Cornwall and the Country as a company capable of creating extraordinary visual theatre events – often in partnership with communities and organisations far from the mainstream.

It has been a year of continuing to adapt to external forces with the global pandemic playing havoc with planning, coupled with uncertainty and caution amongst many partner organisations. And yet the entire team, led by Emma and Mydd, have demonstrated a remarkable ability to rethink, re-plan and innovate driven by an unshakable belief in the value of the work of the company. We have delivered new artwork, often testing our digital capabilities and potential to reach new audiences. We have recommitted to putting diversity at the heart of our organisation and artistic practice and to making the best use of our resources.

Over the past few years the company has committed time, energy and personal growth across the whole organisation which suggests Wildworks holds a position as leaders in creating extraordinary site specific theatre, who are instinctively generous and keen to support others, with the skills to navigate complex partnerships and a desire to develop our practice.

We are grateful for the continued investment from Arts Council of England and Cornwall CC as a demonstration in the value they place in our work as experimenters, in the places that art can be presented, in the commitment to new audiences and encouragers of new talent.

Report of the trustees

For the year ended 31 March 2022

The trustees present their report along with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022.

Reference and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the Memorandum and Articles of Association and the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities (effective from January 2019).

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

Travaux Sauvages Limited is a company limited by Guarantee governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 24 September 2010. It became a registered charity on 30 December 2010. In the event that the charity is wound up, the members agree to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the funds of the charity.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law. Subject to the approval of the members, the trustees may appoint a person who is willing to act to be a trustee. Potential trustees meet the trustees and senior management team prior to their proposal as a trustee. Once appointed, trustees undertake an induction into the workings of the charity including observing operational activity, discussions with staff and reading information such as financial statements and other evaluation documents. The trustees are legally responsible for the overall control and management of the charity.

There have been no changes to the trustees.

Risk management

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

The trustees review the financial, operations and business risks that Wildworks faces as part of the on-going management. This is reviewed annually. The risk register identifies risk, the steps taken to mitigate those identified and any further actions required. A comprehensive review of the risk profile took place in December 2020.

The most likely risks with the highest impact remain those associated with an ever changing economic and cultural climate. We continue to mitigate these risks with the implementation of a rigorous artistic and producing policy and updated communications strategy. In light of the current global pandemic and any similar future issues, we have previously increased the level of operational reserves to cover six months operational costs.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims

The charitable objects for which the charity was established are to advance the arts for the public benefit by the promotion in particular, but not exclusively, of the art of drama. Wildworks describes itself as an 'art led, international theatre company based in Cornwall' founded in 2005 by Bill Mitchell to focus on site-specific arts events. The primary artistic vision is to make landscape theatre - large scale spectacular performances and artworks that grow out of their locations driven by the community that inhabits the site. This profound sense of community is the key tenet of Wildworks' creative output; as a company Wildworks is drawn to stories that are both epic and intimate, human stories that can touch and resonate with audiences across barriers of language, age and nationality. We are inspired by the people that we work with - giving voice to individuals and communities alike.

Strategically, Wildworks seeks to develop relationships with leading national and international producing and creative partners who share our ambitious vision of high-quality landscape and participatory theatre, which often result in ground-breaking and exemplar pieces of theatre.

Wildworks was conceptualised as an experiment - a chance to test a new form of theatre and to define its values for public benefit. Over time the company has examined and developed every aspect of the work - from how to harness the energy and pride of the communities they work with, to exploring the fluidity of relationship between audiences and participants, to encouraging a sense of ownership for every person working on a project. By building up a strong pool of artists that cover music, writing, design and performance, who lead these areas and share skills with partners and participants, Wildworks has achieved the aim of creating meaningful pieces of event theatre that inevitably leaves a strong sense of legacy.

Meet Me at the Edge- digital experience

In the summer of 2020, after months of lockdown, we set out to create an audio-visual experience in the landscape, at home in Cornwall on the cliffs at Botallack. The journey in sound and landscape explored responses to isolation and connectedness within our communities.

The live showings of Meet Me at the Edge were cancelled due to Covid19. We were unable to share the work with our live audiences. But we were able to adapt.

The film was a culmination of that work and the stories we discovered. A unique mosaic of people. Shared online inc BSL/audio described. Originally (and sold out) for a live audience of 350, cancelled due to Covid. Adapted digitally, the work was shared far more widely than planned, this production showcased a myriad of individual stories, connecting Cornwall and the community to the world. 20 artists, 30 Cornwall participants, 90 live guest audience, 3.5k online views to date.

“I thought that every second of the film was insightful, the stories, so beautifully told. The film was majestic, thought provoking, emotional, engaging, we really felt akin to all those involved.” (Audience member)

“… it’s an undeniably beautiful experience, foregrounding the voices of ordinary people and reminding us that what we individually see as the edge will differ greatly from person to person.” (National Critic - Lyn Gardner)

Behind the Postcard- G7 Cultural Programme

Emma Hogg joined a team of Cultural Programme Directors to shape the cultural programme for the G7 in May 2021. Included in that programme was a collaborative project between Wildworks, Creative Kernow, Screen Cornwall and Hall for Cornwall and created in response to the G7, which took place in Cornwall from 11-13 June 2021. The programme encompassed a wide range of activities including landscape artworks designed and curated by Wildworks, workshops, film production, screenings, heritage work and event commissions. The Behind the Postcard programme was commissioned by Cornwall Council in partnership with the Cabinet Office, Arts Council England and National Heritage Lottery Fund.

This film short for G7 delegation, local, national and international audiences, was designed to highlight the ‘real’ Cornwall and featured 32 writers, 25 community workshops, an estimated 407 workshop participants, over 65 performers, and over 30 creative professionals. It was screened at 23 venues with an in person, socially distanced audience of approx. 500 and has received 15,000 views to date. It includes sections in both English and Cornish languages.

“Well thought out and poignant piece of work, superb collaboration. Cornwall is speaking” (Audience)

“I watched this last night and actually cried for home!” (Audience)

Earthling’s Assembly Portland, Dorset

The Earthlings Assembly is a community arts project in Portland UK that culminated at b-side festival 2021. Started in 2019 and continuing during 2020 and was co-created by the community of Portland and Wildworks with the support of local arts organisation b-side. This project was commissioned by MEMO as part of Eden Portland with support from Nottingham Trent University.

Earthlings Assemble explores the diversity of life on Portland, and calls out to gather an assembly of humans and non-humans that will honour and celebrate the distinctiveness of the place.

Unable to run our community engagement with our usual process in person during the Covid19 pandemic, we adapted and created a digital community space with invitations to take part in activities and observations and to share them in the community space.

Report of the trustees

For the year ended 31 March 2022

On Saturday 11th September 2021, Wildworks ran several drop-in community workshops for b-side festival visitors. The participants’ contributions were then edited into a provocative and poetic finale that was projected onto the Bird Observatory lighthouse in the evening. This project has involved 10 artists (8 Cornish), 100+ participants (in person and online) and 210 live audience members. Including testing new methods for engaging community participation using digital spaces when inperson engagement wasn’t possible.

One Story, Many Voices - Imperial War Museum and UK tour

Wildworks in partnership Bodmin Keep & Museum of Cornish Life, were commissioned as one of seven partnerships of artists and heritage organisations in the creation of new Holocaust and WW2 Galleries at the Imperial War Museum, London. Together we created a Cornwall-focused binaural sound story representing a digital anthology to remember/represent the WW2 and Holocaust across the UK today. After months in the archives, the Cornwall partnership focussed in on a story of French Resistance, in this case, the Bretons, tirelessly crossing the Channel and tells of the ways two Celtic seafaring nations came together.

Launched at IWM London (2021) and in Cornwall across February and March 2021 and to be followed by a UK tour. Over 1 million visitors are expected across the first year before returning to its permanent home at IWM.

I am Kevin - development

Originally designed for a city centre location in Truro, Cornwall, I am Kevin, is being relocated and reimagined following the original venue falling through. This has also resulted in a postponement of the initial production delivery from summer 2021 to summer 2022.

This show is now in development for delivery in St Austell, Cornwall working with and for the communities of St Austell and will be shared with audiences on Carlyon Bay beach in August 2022.

This project is supported with funding from Arts Council England project grant, Feast, Cultivator, private sector support, individual giving and box office income. The activity will also be eligible for Theatre Tax Relief once completed.

During this financial year, we have developed the project for the new site identified in St Austell. As a site-specific process some of the creative work has been redeveloped for the new site. The majority of the professional company has been recruited and contracted. The script has been developed and production design is underway.

Annual Open Door

An annual fixture in the Wildworks calendar. Welcoming new and existing professional and nonprofessional creatives and volunteers to join us for an afternoon of conversation to feed in ideas and discover future plans and opportunities.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

This has been a year of low delivery output. This is predominantly a result of the Covid 19 pandemic which has halted all large-scale delivery. This is reflected in a much lower income and expenditure across projects in comparison to other years. We have seen a small increase in income to £323,650 (2021: £275,970) resulting in an increased surplus of £42,240 (2021: £25,912).

We have remained financially stable with no requirement to draw from our operational reserves and with the ability to invest small amounts of creative reserve into work that can be safely delivered. We have not sought financial support schemes such as the DCMS Cultural Recovery Fund delivered through Arts Council England.

Investment policy and objectives

The trustees have considered the most appropriate policy for investing funds and find that the current arrangement with short term bank deposits meets the requirement to generate a reasonable return on capital whilst maintaining access to funds for operational purposes.

Reserves policy

The trustees believe that it is prudent to hold reserves to cover expenditure likely to be incurred should grant funding cease, unforeseen or unexpected expenditure be incurred, sources of income not be renewed, for use towards future projects and to fund working capital. The designated operational fund remains unchanged and would be used to cover any costs associated with closing the charity, should funding not be forthcoming. Cash reserves in the Triodos bank account are equal to funds held in the Operational Fund. £10,000 has been transferred from the designated creative fund as the initial investment in I am Kevin.

FUTURE PLANS

2022/23 remains unpredictable, although it appears there is stability regarding the Covid 19 pandemic and the ending of restrictions, we find ourselves entering a tricky economic situation with high rates of inflation, rising energy prices and the ongoing war in Ukraine. We will need to account for this in future budgets with a likely impact on artistic scale and ambition to allow for higher production costs and the negative impact on box office revenue with audiences being reluctant to pay for non-essential activity. Nevertheless, we are an agile organisation, self-described as fluid, shapeshifters with the ability to adapt to changing environments.

We will continue to consider Covid 19 as a precautionary measure and continue to seek out new opportunities. We will be looking for online digital options alongside live events to maximise value and audience reach.

We are fortunate to continue receiving a Culture Grant from Cornwall Council for the period 2022-26 and have received a year of extension funding as part of Arts Council England’s National Portfolio Organisations from April 2022-March 23. We have now received confirmation that we are to remain a National Portfolio Organisation for Arts Council England from 2023-2026 with standstill funding, i.e. no change to the grant funding figure.

Travaux Sauvages Limited t/a Wildworks

Report of the trustees

For the year ended 31 March 2022

Our commitment to talent development remains. We will continue to develop our training programme that has three key areas; emerging talent, creativity for all/mass participation and young people and will be seeking local and national support to create this as a stand-alone strand of work.

We plan for all training and talent development opportunities to have symbiotic relationships with projects. We want to open ourselves up to working with and training future artistic leaders in the different areas of the work. The firm basis of artists and company leadership will allow us to bring in exciting collaborators who won’t necessarily have had experience of working in this way.

DEVELOPMENT OF NEW MAJOR WORK

I am Kevin, 2022

The early part of 2022/23 will see major project delivery in the form of a two week durational show I am Kevin on Carlyon Bay, St Austell. Delivered by a professional team of 50 and a voluntary community team of 64 from 6-20 August 2022.

Designed for audiences of up to 350 per show with two BSL and two audio described performances. This will be a promenade show that travels to 6 stages in a circular show route of approximately one kilometre.

I am Kevin digital, 2023

A 6 person capture team will join the second week of live shows to capture the work so it can be released at a later date as an online/cinematic experience.

The highly visual language of a Wildworks show is eminently photogenic and lends itself to being viewed cinematically. A digital version will be a hybrid between immersive theatre and film. Using film, we will capture the audience's perspective of the show, using multiple cameras across multiple performances. The production uses the elements of the beach landscape, with the audience moving across 6 different locations, featuring materials and structures of the beach, reinterpreted into a mythical world. The story explores the very depths of what it means to believe in our own stories, what we trust and how we find our true self in an epic journey of light and darkness.

We'll then film additional material exclusively for the digital viewer - in and around the area of St Austell, expanding the narrative- exploring time and location shifts- so it expands on the physiological themes within the show. Likewise, we filmed sections of the show without an audience at nightexploring the role of the audience in the story and how fragile stories can be.

The results of this experiment will be unlike any other live to digital theatre capture to date.

We will create a feature length film that is a hybrid of the live experience and some additional recorded elements, as well as a behind-the-scenes film of the process that includes a 'director’s commentary' on how the piece was confused as a live and digital piece from the start. Finally, we will create an early teaser and a trailer of the finished film, plus some additional social media content that allows a wider audience into the world of the story and engages them with the characters and the background community process.

Galatea, 2023

Galatea is a co-production Wildworks/Marlborough Productions/Brighton Dome and in artistic collaboration with Emma Frankland.

Mydd Pharo will co-direct this project and Wildworks core team and associate artists will be embedded throughout the process drawing our expertise in large scale, landscape theatre.

This project will be co-created and delivered with local communities in and around Shoreham on Sea particularly trans, D/deaf communities and highlighting intersectionality of marginalised groups. The creative team and cast bring a range of lived experiences and are a blend of both hearing and D/deaf, trans, BSL speakers and a range of ethnic identities. The script has BSL embedded in it in addition to other languages, delivered as a multilingual piece.

This Land, Portland, 2023

Having developed a relationship with communities and organisations on Portland since 2019, we have been commissioned by b-side festival as part of their THIS LAND programme. Working with the communities on Portland to explore the heritage and environmental themes around the development of land and people’s relationship to the landscape. Kickstarting activity at the festival in 2022 leading to a final sharing of work at the festival in Sept 2023. Plans to work with at least 6 place-based partnerships including the local schools, Bournemouth University and environmental and heritage partners.

We are already planning for legacy.

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 31 March 2022

1. Accounting policies

a) Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities in preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Travaux Sauvages Limited t/a Wildworks meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.

b) Going concern basis of accounting

The accounts have been prepared on the assumption that the charity is able to continue as a going concern, which the trustees consider appropriate having regard to the current level of unrestricted reserves. The activity is slowly recovering after the impact of the Covid 19 pandemic on the Arts, and there are confirmed contracts for the 22-23 financial year. The company has recently received confirmation that we are to remain a National Portfolio Organisation for Arts Council England from 2023-2026. There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

c) Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Income from the government and other grants, whether 'capital' grants or 'revenue' grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

d) Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity: this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.

e) Funds accounting

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity's work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.

1. Accounting policies (continued)

f) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

g) Allocation of support and governance costs

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Governance costs are the costs associated with the governance arrangements of the charity, including the costs of complying with constitutional and statutory requirements and any costs associated with the strategic management of the charity’s activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on the following basis:

ities on the following basis:
2022 2021
Raising funds 11% 7%
Charitable activities 89% 93%

h) Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life. The depreciation rates in use are as follows:

Plant and machinery 4 years straight line
Office equipment 3 years straight line
Motor vehicles 4 years straight line

Items of equipment are capitalised where the purchase price exceeds £250.

i) Stock

Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Donated items of stock are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market.

j) Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

k) Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

l) Creditors

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 31 March 2022

1. Accounting policies (continued)

m) Financial instruments

The charitable company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

n) Pension costs

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme for its employees. There are no further liabilities other than that already recognised in the SOFA.

o) Accounting estimates and key judgements

In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are described below.

Depreciation

As described in note 1h to the financial statements, depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life.
