The Bone Ensemble

Trustees' Report

year ended 31 March 2022

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of The Bone Ensemble for the year ended 31 March 2022

Objectives and activities

To advance education for the public benefit by the promotion of the arts, in particular but not exclusively the art of drama

Overview

This year saw the fruition of our exciting collaboration with the Jewellery Quarter Cemeteries Project, plus a new creative and storytelling project with local and international participants ( From Pod to Bar) and the further development of ChocFest , an ambitious project for the Birmingham 2022 Festival for the Commonwealth Games Cultural Programme. Building on previous community engagement work with children, schools and heritage volunteers, this year saw further development in our drive to make artistic work in partnership with communities - both on our doorstep and thousands of miles away in Ghana.

Projects

Unburied Treasures , our outdoor, site-specific performance with new partners, The Jewellery Quarter Cemeteries Project, and co-created with heritage sector volunteers, finally came to fruition in September 2021 after further postponement from April 2021 due to Birmingham City Council Covid restrictions. The opportunity to work with community performers was a new and welcome venture for the company. We had wonderful feedback from audiences, who told us it was 'brilliant', 'absolutely superb', that they had 'thoroughly enjoyed it' and found it a 'very interesting way of learning about some of Birmingham's unsung heroes and exploring an unusual venue'. The audio tour version remains available to stream or download.

From Pod to Bar was a creative writing and storytelling project funded by Birmingham City Council as part of the 'Culture On Our Doorstep' initiative. It enabled us to develop relationships with groups we had identified during our ChocFest Feasibility Study activity the previous year: Rowheath House supported housing residents, the CRUNCH community writers group, LEAF's Creative Arts Memory Café attendees and, in Ghana, the Amankwatia cocoa farmers' cooperative society.
