Starting off with a workshop led by a guest practitioner to welcome creativity and new skill development in the room, we curate a skill sharing workshop followed by an open mic where anything goes: from sharing scenes you’re developing to exploring the feelings being where you’re from brings up for you currently, and everything in between.

If you have something to say - the floor is open for you to say it, and the community is around to hold space while you explore it.

This is a space to be heard and held.

Guest-led workshop to spark creativity and skill growth.
An open mic for work at all stages of development.

  • We’ve had Deborah curating a space where the community felt empowered to harmonise together and Tatenda leading us into the world of loop pedal performances - there are countless talents we’ve been lucky enough to encounter from the community who join us at Open Floor and whatever skill you’re bringing, stop hiding it and come share!

  • Bring yourself, and anything from a snippet of an idea to that poem you wrote 7 years ago and just re-read the other day, which got you thinking ‘‘was I onto something?’’ - this is not a space where polished-only, performance-ready pieces live. This is a real work-in-progress space. Where we reflect, ask questions and leave with ideas to take things further, and connections to make it happen.

  • Listen, all we ask is that you are respectful and mindful of anything within the work you’re sharing being triggering, upsetting or disrespectful to others. If in any doubt, there are facilitators on site to guide you through questions around sharing - best to talk it out, than hold it in!
