Objectives

Villages in Action is a rural touring performing arts scheme that brings top quality professional arts events and professionally-run arts workshops to communities in Devon. We work with local volunteers to select and present an exciting programme of public arts events right in the heart of our communities. You’ll find theatre, dancing, circus, poetry, laughter, puppetry, and music from across the world in village halls, churches and community spaces.

Activities

By empowering communities to develop, organise and sustain their own cultural activity we aim to:

  • act as an agency to enhance the quality of life of all members of those communities
  • reduce social isolation
  • build up a sense of enterprise and self-confidence
  • address other issues of relevance to our communities through specific, time-limited projects.
