PEUT-ETRE THEATRE
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
COMPANY MISSION AND BACKGROUND
Peut-Être Theatre (PET) creates unforgettable early theatrical experiences for young audiences. The shows, workshops and educational programmes effectively combine the visual, the physical and the musical for the enjoyment and inspiration of children and families. Our work has an idiosyncratic physical style and our ethos is to make it accessible to children of all abilities and backgrounds.
Since 2008, PET has produced 9 full-length productions, alongside other projects like research & development, workshops for children and professionals, hospital residencies and creative programmes for in and outpatients, regular national and international touring. Thus far we have engaged with over 65,000 audience members in 7 countries across 3 different continents.
PET expanded its work into podcasting; creative innovative new audio products that can reach young audiences, at home, in the classroom and in hospitals. Audiomoves is a free podcast series that inspires children to move and create with screen-free activity. Available through the company’s website, all major podcast channels, and through Fun Kids Radio, the series has been hugely popular – greatly increasing PET’s reach and acting as a vital creative outlet for young people.
All productions include a development period where children become part of the creative process. During our period as Artist in Residence at London’s Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) in 2017, we created Tidy Up through a 3- week systematic participatory programme, engaging hospitalised children, their families and clinical staff. Tidy Up has since enjoyed huge national and international success.
As well as GOSH, PET has collaborated with and been supported by a variety of partners including: University of Oxford Natural History Museum, The Institute of Sound and Vibration, The Wellcome Trust, The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), Small Wonders, Lighthouse Poole and PASS Circus Channel. PET collaborated with prestigious national venues such as: Royal Albert Hall, South Bank Centre, National Theatre, Lyric Hammersmith, The Roundhouse, The Place, The Egg, Brighton Dome, Polka, The Curve, artsdepot, Barnsley Civic; and internationally to The Lincoln Centre, NYC, USA, iTheatre Singapore, Israel Festival for Children’s Theatre, ZiguZajg Festival Malta, ASK China and more.
ARTISTIC PROGRAMME
THE DARK
Remount and national tour of dance-theatre performance for children (4+), adapted from the book by Lemony Snicket.
We toured to 11 venues across the UK. 100% of the venues were outside of London, and 18% were in Arts Council Priority Places. The show was accessible to Blind and Visually Impaired (VI) children through integrated audio description, touch tours, and audio marketing assets. We connected with schools, families, and Blind and VI children.

PEUT-ETRE THEATRE
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
‘Thank you for such a wonderful show. It honestly was amazing and I've never seen the children so excited; just being in a theatre was an incredible experience, let alone getting to watch such fantastic actors. The children came away totally captivated and they sang the dark's motif all the way back to school! It was one of the best trips I've been a part of’ Head teacher, Katesgrove Primary School, Reading
‘It makes such a big difference when events like this are fully inclusive! I feel so lucky for Rex that he is growing up in a time where things like this will be normal! There wasn’t much of this around when I was younger and I’m glad it’s improving with time!’ Instagram @theblindmummy
‘I was so impressed by the care and attention the whole company paid to our audiences. They made a huge impact!’ Programme Manager at Theatre Hullabaloo
We created and released 4 episodes of Audiomoves, our popular movement podcast, based on themes in the show. Plus a bonus episode- an audio rehearsal diary capturing life on tour for the artists, and responses to the show from children. This was an important step in our strategy to cross pollinate our live and digital audiences by creating digital content which relates to the work we tour.
AUDIOMOVES - ORIGINAL SERIES
Podcast & CPD event
During this period 13 episodes (3 series) were created and released. Each series was directed by Peut-Être Theatre’s Artistic Director, Daphna Attias, and written in partnership by two distinctive artists:
-
Rhythm: written by Kathak dancer Meera Patel and dancer Bridget Lappin. These episodes included the work of four musicians who played tabla, sitar, flute, and bells.
-
Sound and silence: written by PET Associate Artists Maya Politaki and Bridget Lappin.
-
Darkness: written by musician and sound designer, Ellie Isherwood, and PET Associate Artist Charlie Hendren.
We delivered an online training session for educators on how to use Audiomoves in the classroom. The teacher resource pack and CPD are available to access, for free, from our website. Since publication, the CPD video has had 1.5k views via our YouTube channel.
Audimoves won Best Family Arts Activity at the 2022 Fantastic for Families awards.
AUDIOMOVES - AT THE ZOO EDITION
Workshop programme, podcast creation & release
We created 8 podcast episodes of ‘Audiomoves at the Zoo’, in collaboration with London and Whipsnade Zoos, ZSL conservation zoos. Each episode is based on an animal and is split into two chapters: the first chapter features a Q&A with a zookeeper, and the second is an accessible movement activity inspired by the learnings from the interview. The questions in the Q&A were developed and recorded by children through workshops, and the answers were recorded on-site at London and Whipsnade zoos. The children then attended a follow up session at the zoo where they engaged in an animal welfare workshop, saw the animal their workshop was based on, and listened and moved to the podcast they helped create. ‘Audiomoves at the Zoo’ creatively combines science, music and movement. It is free to listen to via all major podcast platforms.

PEUT-ETRE THEATRE
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
We delivered 20 workshops to 270 participants aged 5-11*: 8 workshops were delivered in partnership with Unicorn Theatre with school children in Southwark, Lambeth and Tower Hamlets.
8 workshops with school children in Camden in partnership with The Place. 2 workshops were delivered to hospitalised children at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH). We ran bedside sessions at GOSH and organised a live stream from the giraffe house to one of the wards so the child ren could take part in a live Q&A and see the giraffes. 2 workshops took place in collaboration with Full House Theatre in Luton with their Art Town Group.
*Please note that 5 of the workshops detailed above took place in April 2023, during the 23/24 financial year.
‘The first workshop made the children think about movement and got them engaged in the subject of meerkats, leading them to ask scientific questions about the animal. The second workshop at the zoo then allowed their questions to be answered through listening to the podcast, whilst watching the animals do exactly what the zookeeper was saying! So many of the children commented on how it was amazing to listen to their answers whilst watching the animal actually do the action.’ Teacher, Primrose Hill Primary
‘The children really liked learning about different animals. The children loved moving to the music.’ Teacher, Friars Primary School
‘The pupils have really loved taking part in the workshop. It has been engaging and interactive and has really developed their role play and drama skills…it was a fantastic experience for them.’ Teacher, Hermitage Primary School
We worked with an access associate to ensure the language used in the podcast was accessible to children with different abilities.
Peut-Être Theatre collaborating with ZSL offered a great opportunity for both organisations to cross promote our missions: with our audience learning about animals and conservation, and for children interested in ZSL to be offered a new route into their work and into movement and dance. We have successfully expanded our audience and the reach of our work (which we have been able to track using marketing activity data and podcast analytics). This project has established a new and exciting format of working for us, and we are now exploring other potential scientific partners for future Audiomoves series. This model will be the basis of future audio projects for us, defining our long term digital strategies.
During this period 3 episodes of Audiomoves at the zoo were released, the other 5 were released in the 23/24 financial year.
Fundraising & sustainability
We worked with freelance fundraisers, Maya Politaki and David Ward, on applications for project and core funding.
We were grateful to receive support from a variety of funds:
-
The Christina Smith Foundation, for The Dark
-
Art’s Council Touring Grant, for The Dark
-
Art’s Council Project Grant, for Audiomoves at the zoo
-
Backstage Trust
-
Foyle Foundation
-
Garfield Weston
-
Phoenix Court
We received fees from performances of The Dark and from project partners on Audiomoves at the zoo including Great Ormond Street Hospital, Unicorn Theatre, Full House Theatre and The Place.

PEUT-ETRE THEATRE
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Financial review
Timothy Geddes was appointed as the charity's independent examiner for the year. A resolution to reappoint him as independent examiner will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting.
The result for the year ended 31 March 2023 was a surplus of £26,267 as set out in the Statement of Financial Activities.
PET's two principal sources of revenue are performance fees and grant funding. PET received £147,011 in grant funding during the year.
PET's main expenditure for the year was fees for freelance artists and core staff.
PET's free reserves at the end of the year amounted to £62,660.
Going concern
The Trustees are aware that the charity is facing an increasingly challenging funding environment. However, having reviewed the charity’s budget and forecast cash flows for the period to 31 December 2024, the Trustees are confident that the charity has sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due, and that it is therefore appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties that could cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.
Principal risks and uncertainties
The principal risk for PET is insufficient financial stability, which hinders the charity's capability to confidently build and pursue long-term plans. The company is primarily dependent on project funding and box office income, and these revenue streams do not produce enough surplus to enable long-term growth. Securing core funding is a key priority for PET. We also intend to further diversify our funding portfolio in order to reduce reliance on government support[MOU2] .
Covid-19’s impact on the theatre sector has been a major risk to the company’s work and financial stability. This has been and continues to be closely monitored, and trustees regularly strategize with Executive Directors to best mitigate risks. The company has worked hard to mitigate financial losses through negotiations with partners on cancellation fees, cautious planning for live work, extensive fundraising work and developing a mixed model of live & digital work to be resilient in the face of change.
PET has a small core team. This has been identified as a risk due to the dependence of the organisational activities on minimal key staff. This risk is included in the company Risk Register, and mitigated as much as possible by shared resources, a pool of associate artists who know the company's work and can step in when needed, and reserves available to bring in additional, short-term support.
Financial and risk management objectives and policies
The board of trustees is responsible for the management of the risks faced by the charity.
- 4 -
PEUT-ETRE THEATRE
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
The charity has a formal risk management process through which management identifies the major risks to which the organisation may be exposed and ranks these by likelihood and impact, culminating in a risk control document that is updated on a regular basis. These risks are reviewed at board meetings throughout the year. The charity's activities are largely project-based, and systems are in place to ensure that the charity's exposure is kept more or less in line with secured project funding. The trustees are satisfied that systems have been developed and are in place to mitigate identified risks to an acceptable level.
Safeguarding
Rupert Rowbotham is the safeguarding officer for the company and regularly reviews the company policies. The safeguarding policies were revised to include online and digital safeguarding in light of the pandemic.
Structure, governance and management Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and is constituted as a company limited by guarantee as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
The trustees who served during the year were:
Vese Aghoghovbia Kerry Andrews Baron Armah-Kwantreng (Resigned 27 September 2023) Thomas Brain Marie Horner Mary Kofokasumu Louise Kristensen Renata McDonnell (Resigned 27 September 2023) Saswati Mitra Mark Rowbotham (Co-Chair) Roman Stefanski (Co-Chair)
Since the year end, Mr Baron Armah-Kwantreng has resigned from the Board, on 27 September 2023.
Organisational structure
Founded in 2008, PET was established in 2011 as a private limited company by guarantee and registered as a charity in June 2016. The company directors are also trustees of the board.
Governance & Management
In 2022-2023 PET was managed by two part-time members of staff: Daphna Attias, the founder and Artistic Director, worked in a freelance capacity and led all artistic & educational projects. Bridie Donaghy was appointed Producer of the company in April 2021. Maya Politaki works in a freelance capacity as Associate Director and Development Manager, leading on writing fundraising bids and reports for the company.
PET worked with 50 freelance artists on different projects throughout this year including dancers, musicians, designers and workshop facilitators. The team is highly skilful in successfully managing the logistics of such a large and diverse group of artists. We are proud that many artists are long-term collaborators.

Responsibilities and basis of report

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Peut-Etre Theatre is a charitable company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 3rd Floor, 166 College Road, Harrow, Middlesex, HA1 1BH.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
The Trustees are aware that the charity is facing an increasingly challenging funding environment. However, having reviewed the charity’s budget and forecast cash flows for the period to 31 December 2024, the Trustees are confident that the charity has sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due, and that it is therefore appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties that could cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
1.4 Grants receivable
Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
1.5 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
1.6 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.7 Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

(Continued)
1.8 Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated 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 where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
