Bootworks Theatre

Amazing to be working on TEN this week as part of @boingfestival. The programme’s stacked with great shows from Finland, Spain, Germany and the UK. If you live in Kent then come along and see the work of some superb local young people. (24-25 August).

We are so excited to have @Bootworks ‘The Jukeboxes’ back on Glebeland again!! What will they have for us this year ? And it’s their 25th birthday ! Thursday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday 13:30 & 16:20 #theatreandcircus #glastonbury2024 @glastonbury @theatre_circus

Sorry if anyone is trying to access our site atm. @HeartInternet are impossible to contact and we’ve been locked out of our account. They are terrible. We may be changing domain names…please stay tuned! BTW. @HeartInternet if you actually care: get in touch.

The annual Bootworks Christmas gathering. 🎅🏼 🎄 ⛄️ Love these people. Merry Christmas all!!

I made a 2 page summary of the new Arts Council projects grants funding guidance & application form (under & over 30K). Shout me via my website if you want a copy, to see what's changing at a glance. (Everything else on my website still for current format) christinapoultoncreative.co.uk/contact

From now on… I will only drink coffee with a bear’s face on it. It’s such a pleasure to be presenting research on Bootworks’ NINE show at the 30th International Festival of Children’s Theatre in Serbia on behalf of @SolentUni and @chiuniMTP.

@pashleycycles Oh man. Wish we had these for our JukeBoxes! The Loadstars have taken a beating over the years to say the least. Having power assist was a dream! 🥰

Stand Out! Custom box branding is available as an option for the front, sides and rear door of the cargo box on ALECS & you can choose your custom frame colour. pashley.co.uk/products/alecs #Pashley #Ecargo #cargobikes #electriccargo #cargodelivery #urbandelivery #lastmiledelivery

It’s a pleasure to be in Toronto talking about the research behind our latest show NINE @CYPConference on behalf of @chiuniMTP & @SolentUni. Enjoy this heavily filtered and shameless tourist selfie.

A lovely trip to @WOWRotherham this weekend with the JukeBoxes. Next stop @WalkaboutsTC.

💥 ONE MONTH TO GO 💥 @WOWRotherham is only one month away so keep an eye out on our social media for updates on all the plans! Follow WOW Rotherham here for more info: buff.ly/3nONbO4 #WOWRotherham @FluxRotherham @ccoc_roth2025 @RMBCevents @RMBCPress

After many years of devoted service the Bootworks van is being put out to pasture. Thanks old friend. @RuthACAdams managed to snap the second picture of Max’s retirement.

Go and work with these guys. They’re great!!

I've had a few requests for DYCP help. I haven't written one myself so I don't offer training. (whereas project grants are a fixture of my life- my training is informed by extensive experience writing, & supporting successful apps.) So here's a thread of DYCP resources instead...

Technician callout! We are looking for a technician to join the crew of Dots and Dashes for our London run at The Space! Must be available 3rd-14th January and based in London. This is a paid job. Please email chop.logic@outlook.com with your CV and a little about yourself.

In NINE we ask young people what they know about that adults would be surprised by. Some of our favourite answers include: ‘You don’t know that’… - We know Father Christmas isn't real. - I once caught Dad watching inappropriate movies. - We know you don't always keep promises.

NINE asks young people what they think about adults - and how adults treat young people.

Some audience responses from THE LEICESTER NINE last week @AttenboroughAC. Can’t wait to tour this show to more places across the Summer of 2023.

If any 9-year-olds get stage fright, we now have an excellent understudy in the guise of @AndyBootworks
