Why & Why Now?
We have been creating performance and artworks for over ten years, primarily for engaging outdoor audiences at festivals and evens that are free to attend. We pride ourselves on creating work that engages anyone of any age that comes across it, at key cultural events that bring communities together. In the last seven years our work and partners have become more focused on issues around our oceans and the environment, as both the state of our oceans and young peoples mental health have been declining. The time is now to engage both young and old in Saving Our Seas!
We know through grass root community arts projects, that most kids are not only quite aware of the challenges our climate faces, but they are also really enthusiastic about doing something to help. We want to share this enthusiasm and the wider project with as many people as we can, to engage people in creative and fun ways to help achieve the project's mission.
'Hotch Potch's performances offer a vital lifeline. They help to bridge the gap between different social groups, creating shared experiences that can unite communities.'
Jack Morrison, Deputy Theatre Manager, Hall for Cornwall
