We pride ourselves on the diverse and innovative projects we produce and collaborate on. Take a look at our current and most recent projects.
Animate Evolve
Animate Evolve is a massive part of our activity as a company; meeting weekly, our sessions are a combination of rehearsals, skills workshops and project development. The main focus of these sessions is collaboration. The company is a diverse group of people with and without disabilities but with a shared passion for creating quality theatre as well as breaking down barriers and the stigmas of what it means to be disabled.

Recently, the Animate CIC team have produced a film in collaboration with Autek CIC for The University of Plymouth for their medical students on reasonable adjustments for disabled people in a doctor's appointment as well as further challenges those with learning disabilities may face.
