Take Art

Take Art Take Art is a pioneering arts charity, serving the towns, villages and rural communities of Somerset.

We do this by providing opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to experience, participate and work within the arts. Every year we provide performance and workshop opportunities for thousands of children, young people, adults, older people and vulnerable groups. Through our work we seek to educate, inform national practice, improve self-esteem, empower, build empathy, careers, happiness

as well as physical and mental well-being. We don't wait for the people to come to us, we go out to where the people live and transform lives and communities through the arts.

With puppetry, clowning and gently embedded audience participation, The Light House is the highly acclaimed debut play of theatre artist Alys Williams, supported by an exciting, female- led creative team. It is a real-life story of falling in love and staying in love, even when the lights go out and you’re lost in the dark. It’s a love letter to life.

Join the emergency response as we dance in the kitchen, sing in the streets and try to turn the lights back on. It gets lonely, muddling through these days and nights. So why don’t we do it together?

See this amazing show on 3-6 September, book your spot now here https://bit.ly/4bYDXEK or visit the Take Art website.

And if you're not on our mailing list yet you can sign up for future copies here (it's free!) : https://bit.ly/3dJUYrh or via the Take Art website. Just make sure you enter your address!
