BASELESS FABRIC THEATRE
We create site-specific and promenade theatre & opera to inspire audiences to see the art forms and the world around them in new ways. We partner with local schools to offer complimentary workshops to teach young people about theatre and opera; with community organisations to run sessions with elderly groups, and provide opportunities for local people to be involved as volunteers.
