"The Tempest" - Shakespeare
"1st Framework is a learning organisation, providing work experience and volunteering opportunities"
1st Framework Was set up by Director/ Designer Peter Avery and Producer Maxine Webster in 1982. It is a charity with an 'empty studio' policy enabling it to assemble new teams, spaces and schedules on each occasion, while developing projects that often fall outside the normal funding criteria.
It is known for its cross-art-form work performed in unconventional surroundings staged by a rich variety of partner organisations and arts practitioners. Its award winning inter-generational work with older people is radical and ambitious. Developed out of a long-term collaboration with the Mary Ward Centre, London.
1st Framework also provides creative teams from a range of disciplines to work with a variety of art and design clients. Profits from these activities are covenanted to the charity to provide essential research and development resources for future projects.
1st Framework is a 'learning organisation' providing work experience and volunteering opportunities.
