About The Brummie Ensemble
The Brummie Ensemble is a dynamic, inclusive drama group for anyone interested in theatre, performance and finding community through creative collaboration. Whether a seasoned performer or curious to try theatre for the first time, this is the space to explore and grow. It brings people together from different walks of life – broad age range backgrounds, identities, and experiences to co-create exciting, original theatre.
The Brummie Ensemble is open to all but we have a commitment to working with people from below groups:
- Older Adults at risk of social isolation
- People who are Care Experienced
- Carers
- People with additional needs
Access is a priority. We’re committed to making sure everyone can participate meaningfully.
The invite was to come as you are, let’s make theatre that reflects the world around us.
Brummie Ensemble launched during the Autumn and its first term has been at the Legacy Centre of Excellence. Working with professional artists over 10 weeks the group has used a process-based approach, focusing on theatre, performance and music and it is ending in a sharing of work in development. We hope some of this work, along with the techniques will be further developed in the coming term.
In January it will move into its second term which is to be based at The Birmingham Rep
Many of the participants from term 1 will remain involved but we are welcoming a small number of new people. We expect to have a group of roughly 25 participants.
