PARTNERSHIPS
We work with regional universities, cultural venues and a range of partners regionally, nationally and internationally to create work that contributes to important research and invites audiences to think about and respond to arts and social action.
The process of hearing stories and working together with such a rich diversity of voices to create this work has been a very powerful journey. We hope that audiences are moved by our images, collage, poetry and songs which respond to lived experiences.

Skimstone [is] uniquely placed to provide quality, long term engagements for young people facing multiple barriers to accessing arts provision. And they do it with such a sense of ambition and fun!
