From September 9th, we'll be moving permanently to the Swan Theatre in Worcester, including running production rehearsals and our learning programme from our new base.
The move was instigated by the closure of Worcester Arts Workshop due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. WAW has been Vamos Theatre’s very happy home for the last 8 years, and its creative and supportive atmosphere helped the company to grow and develop. We're truly sorry to be leaving, and for the sad closure of a vibrant building.
Rachael Savage, Vamos Theatre’s Artistic Director, commented, “We’d like to thank everyone at Worcester Arts Workshop for all their support over the last 8 years – our hearts go out to staff and volunteers who are affected by the closure. The move to the Swan is such an incredibly exciting move for Vamos Theatre. Lockdown has been so tough for the arts, much of our team was on furlough and our tour was cut short in March, so a fantastic home at the Swan Theatre gives us new energy and ambition.”
Sarah-Jane Morgan, Chief Executive of the Swan Theatre, added, “We are delighted to be welcoming the exceptional Vamos Theatre company to the Swan Theatre. We value the opportunity to support the company as they continue to develop their reputation as the UK’s leading full mask company and are looking forward to working in partnership with the team to preview their future productions on the Swan Theatre’s stage, presenting the highest standard of theatre to our Worcester audiences.”
Our new address is: C/0 The Swan Theatre, The Moors, Worcester, WR1 3ED
SO glad to know you have a permanent new home for Vamos. I really enjoyed the lockdown videos and I think your new initiative in October The Wenesday Wave will be great. Hope to see you back in Norfolk again one day…...thanks for all you do.
ReplyWe really can't wait to be back in Norfolk, whenever that may be! Thanks for your support, Deb
ReplyI am very sorry to hear about what happened to the Worcester Art Workshop but I am VERY HAPPY that Vamos has found a new home and is continuing the wonderful work. Thank you and I wish you lots of inspiration and joy in the new home.
ReplyThank you Ursula - so far so good. The new office is so full of our paraphenalia already, it's like we've been here for ever. Stay safe...
ReplySo glad you are still together, as soon as, please come to Sheringham Norfolk again. I watched JOY there and so loved it. Maybe you can do open air performance some place. Anyway good luck to you.

ReplyGood luck - I’m sure your new home will prove a great creative stimulus and that the Swan will be inspired by your presence. It’s sad to hear of the Arts Workshop having to close though. We hope it will spring back to life at some point.
