Legends of the Rocks
Claque Theatre & Rusthall Community Arts
Performance Programme
Following in a long line of community plays produced by Claque Theatre, Legends of the Rocks was a site-specific performance in Claque’s Rusthall home – celebrating the stunning scenery of Toad Rock and its environment. The performance was ‘devised’ by the community in a series of creative workshops and then developed into a final script. Run on a limited community budget, the programme needed to be informative as well as cost-effective.

Parallel Lives
Claque Theatre
Programme
Production of an informative programme for a community play in a Sussex village.
Part of a strong tradition of community plays, Parallel Lives was produced as a promenade performance in the village church. All the actors and most of the ‘crew’ were local people, supported by a small professional team of director, writer and designer.

The Vanishing Elephant
Claque Theatre
Programme
Production of a prestigious programme for a community play in local area of Tunbridge Wells.
It was this community project – originally called ‘Camden Road, The Musical’ – that gave birth to the current thriving arts organisation CREATE (Camden Road Education, Arts, and Theatre Enterprise) which continues to be at the centre of its community.

Posters & flyers
The CREATE Community Choir (no auditions – everybody welcome) has developed a reputation over the last few years for producing very high quality Christmas and Summer Concerts – including a mix of readings as well as a songs to please a wide range of musical tastes.
The Summer Concerts have centred round a strong theme and these (as well as obviously Christmas) have provided the inspiration for the promotional material.

Display banner
By its very community nature, CREATE is involved in a whole range of projects – so visitors to events can find it a little baffling.
This five foot high banner, used prominently at all events, was created to provide a brief overview of activities and provides a talking point for potential new members.
