We are using our grant from Awards for All to develop the company, run workshops, organise a tour of NIL BY MOUTH  from September to November 2008 and apply for funding. We are part of CULTURE 2007 & LEONARDO applications to develop collaborative arts in health and education projects with ACE (Creative Writing - Ireland), SKISS (Visual Arts - Sweden) FILM UTOPIA (Video & Film - Italy) and INTERACT (Arts & Crafts - Albania). These European projects would run from 2009 to 2011. Over the next 2 - 3 years, we are setting ourselves up as a permanent arts & performance ensemble based in the Northeast of England run by our members and driven by a desire to explore new creative possibilities and dynamics in arts, performance, participation and healing in the modern world.
