## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the period** ## **From 18 Dec 2019 Period start date To 31 March 2021 Period end date** **Charity name: Trajectory Theatre** **Charity registration number: 1187022** ## **Objectives and Activities** ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|Trajectory Theatre is committed to advancing
public appreciation of the immersive digital
arts, through the production and exhibition of
new creative works, as well as to aid other
makers bysharingresearch and learnings.| |Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or services
identified in the accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|Across this period we have helped deliver
workshops covering subjects across the
spectrum of digital creativity. This includes
subjects such as game engines, virtual
reality, augmented reality, photogrammetry,
and always with a focus on how these
technologies could be used to artistic ends.
The participants for these have included
established theatre practitioners wishing to
enter the digital space and early career
artists interested in expanding their skills.
We have continued to create artistic works
internally which have pushed the boundaries
of both our capabilities and the status quo of
the immersive arts sector. We are positioned
to take to audiences in the comingmonths.| |Statement confirming
whether the trustees have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public
benefit|Para 1.18|The trustees have regard for the public
benefit guidance and have used these
principles when making decisions about the
activities taken on by the organisation.| 1 **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: ||Contribution made by
volunteers|Para 1.38|Volunteering has made up the majority of the
benefaction to the organisation over this
period. Without the tireless effort of the
board, the artistic director and various other
individuals we would have been unable to
conduct our activities.|| |---|---|---|---|---| ## **Achievements and Performance** ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|Our work is divided into three strands:
creation, showing and community.
In our creation work we continued
development of our ongoing ‘Circus in a
Bottle’ augmented reality performance and
are fast approaching its completion.
We also began research and development
on a new tool, named ioSpan, that will
eventually allow disabled makers to create
immersive experiences and share them
easily with the world. This project has been
made in collaboration with disabled makers
and users, putting their needs at the forefront
of the development process. Working in this
way we hope to continue to help shape how
the immersive sector views accessibility.
Due to Covid restrictions, there was limited
activity in our showing strand, however we
were able to deliver an online version of our
‘Circus in a Bottle’ performance to audiences
across the country. We have since shared
the techniques we used to produce this work
with other theatre makers looking to digitise
their own practice.
We oversaw various work across our
community strand. This included delivering
workshops for theatre writers with the
Donmar Warehouse and for young people
with UAL. In these spaces we were able to
share our expertise and learning as well as
deal directly with our beneficiaries to better
understand their needs.
We hosted a series of drop in sessions
wherein makers and artists could discuss
relevant topics and askquestions about| 2 immersive tech. This aided in further building the community around Trajectory and strengthening the ties in that community. We conducted community research through surveys and interviews which helped better define the offering we make to our beneficiaries. This led to our Impactful Leadership programme, a series of workshops, talks and opportunities for creation which would have aided artists in a post covid landscape. Though we were ultimately unable to secure funding for this programme, we are proud of the planning and effort that went into it and what we were able to learn about the needs of our community as a result. The work we have carried out in this period has contributed to the successful growth of Trajectory's reputation within the digital immersive theatre space and has directly helped a number of artists and makers. We feel we are still at the beginning of our journey but we have been able to grow our impact significantly in the last 18 months and will continue to do so into the future. ## **Financial Review** |**Financial Review**||| |---|---|---| |Review of the charity’s
