What We Do
Mission
At RedBobble Arts, we are storytellers, driven by the belief that every voice deserves to be heard. As a neurodiverse, female-led theatre company, our mission is to create powerful, live performances and transformative creative wellbeing projects that connect, heal, and empower. Rooted in the communities we serve, we are committed to making the arts accessible to all, especially those who face adversity.
Our work
We are dedicated to producing and touring socially engaged performances and workshop programmes that resonate with audiences and participants throughout Yorkshire and Greater Manchester. Whether in theatres or community spaces, our work ignites conversations and connects with people in meaningful ways.
Our creative wellbeing workshops are tailored for children, young people, and adults facing adversity. These initiatives go beyond art; they cultivate a safe environment for self-expression, personal growth, and healing.
Through initiatives such as the Female Artist Neurodiverse Network Yorkshire (FANN), we promote a culture of collaboration, learning, and mutual support among artists and participants.
We are also passionate about nurturing the next generation of creatives. Through our community engagement and education initiatives, we inspire emerging talent to envision a future in the arts and creative industries.
Values
People and Their Stories: We are fascinated by what makes us human and how we connect. Our work is a celebration of these stories, reflecting the diverse experiences of our audiences and participants.
Inclusivity and Access: The arts belong to everyone. We remove barriers by bringing our work to both traditional theatre settings and community spaces, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to engage with our projects.
Empowerment and Collaboration: We champion female-identifying artists and are dedicated to supporting parents in the arts.
Balance and Wellbeing: We believe in the importance of balance. While we are passionate about our work, we also value the need for rest, health, and time with loved ones.
