Our two year women’s arts project culminated with two breathtaking and awe-inspiring performances in the main auditorium at the Exeter Phoenix.

The show an original devised story was created by women drawn together from across Exeter and working together over a three month period. It focuses around the discovery of an old case by a member of staff at a care home. The staff can’t resist the temptation to look inside. What they find is a story, a story told in pictures of the sometimes ordinary, sometimes extraordinary life of Connie.

During 2003 we were invited by a group of adults with learning difficulties to come & help them make a video about the government’s “Valuing People” white paper, which is the document which sets out how people with learning difficulties should be treated by the services that serve them & society in general.

This 3 month residency brought together young people from 3 ethnic groups living in and around bujanovac (albanian, roma & serbian) in order to provide regular creative sessions and to eventually present to a mixed audience a quality piece of theatre addressing issues of ethnic divides. The process was made difficult by conflicting school schedules (along ethnic lines) local municipal elections (which was fought along ethic lines) and a general lack of activity for and attention to young people which do not follow traditional ethnic partitions.

An hour long film made with teenagers who have or have had cancer & leukemia & who wanted to create a film about their experiences that might help other young people in a similar position. Covering all aspects of the illness, from diagnosis, through treatment, through the effects on family & personal lives & through to recovery…or sometimes death - & reflecting on how the experience has changed them profoundly.

When Wolf + Water were commissioned by the Devon Domestic Violence Joint Services Taskforce to create a video & education pack on domestic violence & healthy relationships for 8 – 10 year olds, we knew exactly who we wanted to work with. Back in 2002 we ran the “Romeo & Juliet Project” looking at issues of inter personal conflict with young people from Bradley Rowe School on the Burnt House Lane estate in Exeter…& we wanted to go back & do some more…!
