About the group
Oi Polloi Theatre Group is a community theatre programme run by Bristol Old Vic in partnership with BDP Creative Communities.
The group is led by professional theatre-maker Liz Felton. Weekly sessions explore a variety of theatre-making styles and techniques, including storytelling, devising, character work, and movement. Participation in performances is entirely optional, but they offer a valuable opportunity to boost confidence and self-esteem.
The project began in 2019 as part of Cardboard Citizens’ national programme, Cardboard Camps. Now delivered in partnership with BDP Creative Communities, Oi Polloi offers a safe and supportive space for individuals to develop new skills and create work together.
Who can join Oi Polloi?
Oi Polloi is open to adults with lived experience of homelessness and / or addiction who want to develop their creativity and confidence through creative play and ensemble theatre making.
What our members say
Oi Polloi is a safe space to play, be silly, and forget my worries for a small amount of time. Connection, fun and games.
