Christopher Elmer-Gorry is a Director, Writer and Producer specialising in co-creation.
He believes that all theatre should be made with/by/for the audience it is intending to serve. Whether that be audiences involved in the creation process, the research and development phase of a project or with performers that are “untrained amateurs” refining their craft and working towards a public performance.
This type of work creates a more meaningful and relevant outcome than just putting on a show and expecting people to come and see it.
Co-creation is a successful model for organisations who are looking to make their work more accessible, grow their audience and actively engage their communities in a conversation around the perceived value of arts and culture in their lives.
