ETT’s Community Touring Truck will be a fully-equipped, movable performance space that takes theatre on the road to the communities who need it the most. For four weeks, the Truck will move across the country hosting a festival of storytelling, music and art made with local artists and communities.

    Situation

    The Covid-19 crisis has resulted in many communities becoming more isolated. The Mental Health Foundation reported “Since lockdown, young people are three times more likely to have experienced loneliness, with almost half (44%) feeling this way”. The pandemic has also threatened the very fabric of the creative industries. As we emerge from this challenging period, theatres will be one of the last places to open and yet these are the very places that bring communities together

    Solution

    Trailer Story will exist as a connector, touring to localities with low cultural provision and knitting together increasingly isolated communities. The truck will be a performance space for the communities we visit, offering a curated programme of work as well as space for the community to unleash their creativity on. We will work to support the improved mental health and wellbeing of the local residents by bringing people together through shared participatory experiences.
