AndAction Performance Arts Projects was formed as a non- profit making arts group in September 2004, partly in order to provide access to the arts for young people in rural areas of Norfolk and Suffolk but also to develop any good ideas in the community as well.

We have worked with young people in Attleborough, Bungay, Horstead, Dereham and Hevingham offering some one- off events and other ongoing after-school projects including film making, comedy improvisation and theatre-sports (reviewed in a very positive light by the BBC).

For the grown ups we've organised such energetic and off-the- wall entertainments  as the Big Bungay Cabarets and introduced the Pink Policeman, Sid Rasputin and  Randolph the Remarkable into various Street market festivals.

Our backgrounds are as professional writers, actors, and musicians. We work in live and recorded media and use a lot of improvisation techniques in the early stages to come up with ‘the right stuff'.

A strong feature of our work in the field of creative development is the emphasis on achieving spontaneity as the first step in provoking interesting ideas. With young people and workshops this  more often than not energises the participants and produces a marked increase in their self-confidence and communication skills - all good things to have happening in a community.
