Particip8+ : Creative Theatre for Adults
Particip8+ is the adult theatre branch of Papilion Arts, offering creative opportunities for individuals aged 18 and above. It is a space for adults from all backgrounds to explore performance, dialogue, and collaboration through theatre.
At its core, Particip8+ is about creating access to theatre as both an art form and a tool for empowerment. Whether participants are new to the stage or experienced performers, the programme provides an open, inclusive environment where everyone’s voice matters.
​
How It Works
Particip8+ engages adults through theatre workshops, performance projects, and Forum Theatre practice. Our approach combines storytelling, movement, and improvisation, allowing participants to explore personal and collective experiences.
​
Sessions are designed to:
Develop creative expression and performance skills.
Build confidence, resilience, and empathy.
Encourage dialogue across different communities and generations.
Provide a platform for participants to share their stories publicly.
Forum Theatre plays a central role, enabling participants to tackle real-world issues such as workplace conflict, migration, discrimination, gender equality, or community cohesion.
​
​
Who It Reaches
Adults of all backgrounds – no prior theatre experience required.
Students and professionals seeking creative growth and reflection.
Community members who want to share their stories and connect with others.
Local organisations looking for creative ways to engage and train their teams.
​
​
Why It Matters
​
In today’s fast-paced world, many adults lack safe, creative spaces for reflection and dialogue. Particip8+ fills this gap by offering a supportive environment where individuals can explore issues that affect their lives, connect with others, and rehearse change through theatre.
By empowering adults to participate in creative processes, Particip8+ strengthens community ties, enhances cultural participation, and helps people develop skills that extend far beyond the stage.
​
​
Particip8+ is not just a theatre group – it is a community of voices, stories, and possibilities.
