Black Sheep Collective CIC uses the arts to engage with marginalised people and communities in Milton Keynes. INSP spoke to founder and director of theatre and outreach, Georgia Tillery.
INSP: Tell us about what you do.
Georgia Tillery: I work with communities to reduce barriers to access arts and performance. A lot of my work is based within the community, so I work with various people – young people, adults, people from refugee backgrounds, people displaced in youth hostels in our local community.
The aim of my work is to use theatre as a vehicle for connection, building a sense of belonging, sharing stories, and also developing new performance strategies and techniques.
