As part of our commitment to championing underrepresented communities, Applied Scripted Arc offer bespoke, accessible arts opportunities for people from marginalised backgrounds in Brent and Lambeth, through workshops and programmes grounded in applied theatre and storytelling.
These targeted opportunities are delivered through our community interest company Applied Scripted Arc Projects CIC, developing the skills, confidence and career prospects of underserved communities who have historically been excluded from creative opportunities by economic and social barriers.
Our aim is to create spaces where confidence can be rebuilt, skills can grow, and leadership can be nurtured.
We are always excited to discuss new opportunities for community partnerships - to get in touch please email admin@appliedscriptedarc.com
Testimonials
“Working with Applied Scripted Arc has been a fantastic experience. Shereen and Emma are exceptionally skilled dramaturgs with a strong understanding of participatory practice and early career artist development. Their aptitude and care for the work was evident throughout the project. Communication and administrative processes were clear and smooth. I couldn’t recommend Applied Scripted Arc highly enough.”
- Lorna McGinty, Head of Learning & Participation at Hackney Empire
“Directing and script-writing this production with our students was an extraordinary gift, and the final show left us completely overwhelmed and speechless. To take the project from a first crash-course session to a full, polished production in just four weeks is a genuine achievement, and it speaks volumes about your skill, patience, and dedication. Our students thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the experience, and it showed on the day. You and your crew helped us bring home exactly what we set out to celebrate: identity, culture, and pride in who we are. That is no small thing, and Crest is so fortunate to have worked with you both. Thank you again, from all of us, for making this such a memorable experience for our students.”
- Ms Lamia Miezou, Teacher, Crest Academy
“I came to Shereen and Applied Scripted Arc for some advice on a community arts project idea at the very beginnings of its life, and what I received back was insightful, creative and rooted in an incredible wealth of experience in the arts and specifically creative engagement. It has given me a number of things to develop and consider in relation to my project and a clear idea of what my next steps will be. I left our consultation with renewed enthusiasm and with new perspectives on my project as well as the wider industry. Shereen was incredibly generous in the sharing of her expertise and specialist knowledge and I felt supported and energised by our time together.”
