THE STORY CELLAR MISSION STATEMENT
Story is at the heart of our work and we aim to create an exploratory rehearsal room where ideas can be played with to develop exciting new work. Nothing is set in stone as we stay playful and strengthen our impro skills.
We aim to create a brave space where all participants can feel welcome and free to explore, allowing the process to be equally as important as the product for all those involved.
We will always help our actors to find their story and experience ingenious ways in which to share it. Hoping to help people to love themselves and the stories they are made of.
