THIS IS ABILITY!
Created by Chloé Charody and supported by Arts Council England, ‘This is Ability!’ brought children from Oakfield School in Nottingham together with our team of international creative arts workers to deliver a project that melded classical music, physical theatre & circus together. The aim of the project was for every one to show what their unique ability was and we all had a blast!
“Being in this project showed me that I have very special powers!”

“sharing my skills as an interdisciplinary artist is something I have found very rewarding. Training these young singers to be a part of our productions in the future will open the doors to so many opportunities.”
Workshops with our professional artists
With every new project we make, we aim to stretch the skills of our multidisciplinary artists to their limit and discover new ways of combining opera, classical music & circus. This project enabled us to take our work to brand new heights. Below are images of our workshops that took place over the course of 12 months in Nottingham, London, Berlin and Vienna.
From January - February, 2023 we were able to include the brilliant artists in our 2023 Young Artists Programme.
