Spring 2018
It's only Spring but we've already been doing bits throughout 2018. We're preparing for the second phase of R&D for our flagship 2018/19 show VOID, while Bring Me In continues to engage more and more P.O.C creatives – with upcoming events looking at ideas of "Getting In" and how to "TAKEOVER" in June and July respectively.
We're also in the middle of programming the three day long SKFEST 2018, as well as preparing to launch even more new writing and participatory projects in September 2018.
If you'd like to stay in the loop with what we're doing – and you want to be the first to know about upcoming opportunities in the wider creative sector – subscribe to our mailing list by putting in your email below. We promise we won't bombard you with emails (the new GDPR legislation won't let us do it anyway.)

Bring Me In is a series of networking events curated and produced by The S+K Project, uniquely designed to facilitate creative collaborations between people of colour.
Featuring activities, performances and insightful panel discussions, Bring Me In aims to bring together individuals in a physical space to enhance connections particularly within POC communities, in order to improve inclusivity, access and ultimately to make the arts for everyone.
This edition seeks to dismantle the relationship between artists and venues, and truly investigate how black and brown artists can successfully access venues to take work there as well as working within them. Our panel of experts from a range of different industries and perspectives includes freelance DJ Selecta Suave, Stage One's Marketing & Outreach Coordinator Kadisha Williams + more TBA, with the conversation chaired by Funding Your Future panelist Tobi Kyeremateng. As well as carefully facilitated networking activities, the evening culminates in performances from poets Jamal Mehmood and VOID's Danielle Allen, as well as a set from musician Sarah Jewel.
Getting In will be launching the 2018 Talawa Firsts festival and will be our first Bring Me In partnership with Talawa before taking the event to the Midlands in the Autumn. Tickets are available now for £5 here.
If you can't make it to this one, our next event will be an incredibly special edition on 27 July at Rich Mix to launch the TAKEOVER festival, with a collaborative effort to programme the night. With all this on the horizon and more, there's no better opportunity than this summer to meet black and brown creatives.
If you'd like us to come to a city near you, or if you'd be interested in facilitating #BringIns somewhere in the UK, get in touch with Malakaï now!

VOID
Currently in development
VOID is S+K's flagship show, as our first full-scale production that will tour London in Spring 2019 and the UK in Autumn 2019. Written by Rumi Woolf and directed by Malakaï Sargeant, the show examines and dismantles ideas including the cycle of trauma through an interactive storytelling experience.
The piece embarks on its second phase of research and development through Summer 2018, with a week's residency as the Arcola Theatre aiming to test and explore new ideas intensively, as well as workshops and events lined up across London and the Midlands that delve deeper into the concept of the piece.

S+K x SPOTLIGHT WORKSHOPS
March-JULY 2018, Tower Hamlets
We're pleased to announce that our partnership with Spotlight continues, after delivering theatre-making, spoken word and creative writing programmes with them since 2016. We're recruiting for our joint summer project, Play in a Week, by going into schools in Tower Hamlets and the surrounding boroughs throughout the summer term.
We understand the devastating government cuts means there are fewer and fewer opportunities for young people from socio-economically deprived areas to engage with the arts, which is why we want to bring it to you this summer! If you'd like us to come to your school, college / sixth form, PRU or alternative education centre, get in touch with our Participation Manager David or book through our form here.
