The Cause
Both Darcey and Matthew have longstanding relationships with TRP and Plymouth, and had unique pathways to their careers in dance. All proceeds from this prize draw will go towards funding Theatre Royal Plymouth’s Artist Development programme which supports the next generation of artists in the South West into careers and their own unique creative journeys.
TRP is a registered charity. We are committed to creating excellent artistic and educational productions and programmes that open up the arts to the communities we serve. Part of our offering is supporting South West based emerging artists to develop their practice and reach their potential. This is through giving space and resources and advice, servicing a network of local artists, and commissioning new work for our Lab and Drum spaces. All our programmes require funding, and we couldn’t do it without your support.
How to Enter
It is £5 for 1 entry, £10 for 3 entries, or £50 for 20 entries.
The Prize Draw will close on Thursday 10th July at midnight, and we will contact the winner on Friday 11th July.
