DARTS (Doncaster Community Arts)
This organization is situated in Doncaster, a small town in South Yorkshire, England. There are multiple founders of this organization since it is a charity.
There are around 30 artists in this organization and they all work towards creating programs and creative projects for the participants to do.
-Purpose of organization (mission, goals)
Are they focused on: Theatre for Advocacy, Theatre to Heal, Theatre for Development (of communities), Theatre to Educate/Bring Awareness, etc.
"We work with people who don’t have much to do with the arts. Doncaster is filled with diverse individuals living in distinct communities – our artists use their skills to intrigue them, engage with them and fuel change."
-Who do they serve? Who benefits from their work and how?
We work with the people of Doncaster... it could be the boy in a pupil referral unit, the teacher striving to work more creatively, the dementia patient and her carer, the adult looking for work, a young person in their own neighborhood or a child with disabilities, the list is endless. Please click below to find out more about what we are up to right now.
-Choose a couple of projects/practices/activities and discuss why you find them particularly interesting or important.
This organization has a couple of groups that are all related to multiple aspects of art and fun. They have a quirky choir, knit and knatter, book group, doncaster young writers, asthanga yoga, healthy dance solutions, explore music, sewing group, explore drama and explore visual arts. I would be interested in the healthy dance solutions because I think it would be interesting to see how people put effort into something they like and use towards something they want to do, ie. lose weight.
-What are some similarities and differences in work you have done in theatre compared and contrasted to the work of this organization (choose 3 or 4).
There aren't any particular acitvities that any of these groups do that we've done in the past in theatre specifically, but some of these groups do, do things that we've either done academically or as a school during events such as fitness week (asthanga yoga)
-What aspects of this organization's work might you want to explore further in your own work and why?
I would deffinitely want to work with the 30 artists and find out how exactly they plan their activities, and based on what information they focus on.
-What do you think the lasting legacy or impact this organization's work will leave in the communities they have worked in?
