Delivered by Babel
In 2022, we are supporting Babel Theatre’s The Orpheus Project through our Connecting People and Places Fund’s Collaborative Commissions 2022, co-funded by City of London as part of our Foundations Programme.
The Orpheus Project is a social engagement partnership programme utilising artistic practice, collaborative creativity and community cohesion to promote positive wellbeing, co-creation skills development opportunities for young people and foster stronger relationships with other communities across London.
These commissions will unlock further understanding on how creativity can be used to deliver arts, education, employment programming that provides creative learning opportunities, employment and leadership roles, training and fusion skills development.
They also share a commitment to developing equity in their project’s design and delivery, supporting underrepresented people’s ideas and visibility.

The project aims to provide young people aged 18-30 with creative space to explore the key theme of mental health with examination of wider socio-political, economic and health and well being issues, supported by a range of partners inside and outside of the creative sector who can offer skills development, wellbeing and other support.
