ABOUT UPTC
Unexplored Places Theatre Company is born from our passion for open-air theatre and our absolute wonder at the beautiful outdoor spaces which can be found nestling within and exposed throughout the North Devon landscape.
​
We love working with up-coming writers, directors, chorepgraphers and dramaturgs and championing the voices of women. We recently collaborated on a choreography project exploring period poverty and homeless women in Plymouth. More information on that amazing endeavour can be found here
​
We are also well-versed in Spoken-Word Poetry and Absurdist Theatre and our productions this year will be centred around the Pagan wheel of the year, bereavement and inclusion, a varied portfolio!
​
Nayomie is also collaborating with Paines Plough on her first full play script, as part of their mentored writers programme.
POETRY WORKSHOPS
This set of three poetry workshops with explore the themes of home, relationships and parenthood, framed within the North Devon landscape, or wherever home is to participants. We will be focussing on creative writing as a practise, generating material using sensory explorations and building to an optional showing of our work at the end of the third session. Writers are welcome to attend for single sessions, however, as this is a building process, it would be beneficial to attend all three. We will also be highlighting the importance of self-care in the creative industry.
Nayomie is currently in rehearsals for the latest SwitchFrame Scenic Dance Film
