Bring Your Own People Project
The Project
This summer, Anatomical are inviting groups of people who belong together to take part in a new performance at Out of the Ordinary Festival.
Families, friends, teammates, neighbours, colleagues, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
No performance experience is needed. Starting with a fun opening session, groups will come together over three creative weekends to create a unique outdoor performance using movement, theatre, games and imagination.
Celebrate the moments that make your group special, the jokes, traditions, teamwork and everyday chaos that bring you together.
Led by Anatomical, the dance and theatre company run by Anna Williams and Tom Roden, this joyful project is all about connection, creativity and bringing your people together.
You don’t need to be performers, just bring your group.
Who can take part?
Any kind of group is welcome: families, friends, neighbours, colleagues, teams.
Groups might be small (3 people) or larger.
Children are very welcome, but not groups of children without adults. Time spent together is the key.

Two full creative weekends (15 & 16 Aug and 22 & 23 Aug) Sat 10am - 4pm or Sun 10am - 2:30pm. Register and come along to work with Anatomical on creating a performance. It's up to you how many sessions you sign up for above the minimum amount required.
