Our work

Since our foundation in 2004 we have produced both large- and small-scale theatre shows, social issue drama, touring productions, live music events, books, arts projects, story-making, outreach  and drama workshops,  as well as three community films. 

​

The Field's artists and practitioners have also created  exhibitions, and installations, writing projects and heritage projects with communities across Fenland. 

We have delivered high quality community learning in schools and with community organisations of all kinds.

​

Community inclusion

Community inclusion is the cornerstone of our work, and community involvement is vital to the ongoing success of our projects.  Participation in our projects is open to all, regardless of age, experience and background.

Our past projects have included children with special educational needs, disabled, elderly and blind residents, those who are socially isolated, young people and marginalised people and families. 

(Our participants in Littleport alone number over 1000 people, and many of these are repeat participants).
