Jumped Up Theatre

About

We create opportunities for people in Peterborough to make, enjoy and celebrate culture.

Changing a city by changing the stories it tells.

Current projects include:

Fierce Talent campaign celebrating young people’s creativity in Peterborough, featured at London’s Disrupt Festival.

Co-creating shows with local people and homegrown artists, such as Rent Party Peterborough, as part of the Moving Roots Network.

Peterborough-focused heritage projects, such as The Northern Soul of Peterborough, celebrating Peterborough’s ties to the Northern Soul scene in partnership with Peterborough College.

Commissioning innovative and game-changing touring projects as part of the Collaborative Touring Network.

Working with artists, arts organisations and community groups to develop their skills and practise including hosting the Peterborough Culture Forum.

 

VISION: A world empowered by culture.

We believe that access to the arts, as audience, participants, co-creators and artists, can result in improved outcomes for health, education, inclusion, social cohesion, economic growth and life-enhancing leisure, for individuals, communities, society and the environment.

MISSION: To create positive social change with Peterborough’s communities. 

1.    Our programme is hyper-local; by curating activity that relates directly to a community of interest we are growing future stakeholders. 

2.    Our programme is exceptional: by reaching across communities with content and processes that could not happen without Jumped Up’s involvement we are creating the conditions for change. 

3.    Our practise is partnerships: by working with others and their expertise we are co-building sustainable change which will grow across boundaries.
