ARTISTIC DIRECTOR REPORT

In 2019, Milk Crate Theatre's Artistic Program reached remarkable new heights. Major work Natural Order was a highly ambitious cross-company project – offering Collaborative Artists an array of art forms to express their feelings and experiences about social mobility. The outcome was as planned – massive, bold, ambitious! Beautiful, resonant and authentic.

After such a feat, our plan for 2020 was to take it easy and get back to basics. Unfortunately, the world had different plans! However, the challenge of COVID 19 essentially demonstrated our steadfastness as a community and as a company. Finding ways to keep people connected and creative is what we do – breaking barriers to access, offering platforms for people to activate expression, and providing skills development and growth spaces. Even COVID 19 couldn't stop us from making our art, and we are so excited for a future of more performance making, reaching more people, and sharing more of these most vital messages to the world.

"Milk Crate Theatre is Amazing. It fills a very special role in society to support people in need. I loved working with people whose needs are different to my own and seeing how the company works this into their ethos."
