Somerset Arts organisation Take Art, in partnership with Surrey Arts and China Plate, has received funding of £92,000 from the Arts Council’s Strategic Touring Fund and £24,000 from the Paul Hamlyn Foundation for the early years regional theatre project Hopper, to tour Somerset and Surrey in 2017/18.
Taking place over two years, Hopper is ‘set to reshape’ early years theatre by bringing specially created theatre shows into theatres, pre-schools, nurseries, libraries and children’s centres, focusing on children from poorer less advantaged areas.
Phil Gibby, the South West area director for the Arts Council said, ‘We’re really pleased to be supporting Hopper as we believe that all children and young people, whoever they are and wherever they live, should have the opportunity to experience the richness of arts and culture.’
