I Am A Creator: I Am A Storyteller

What is 'I Am A Storyteller'?

I Am A Storyteller is the third phase of our I Am A Creator cultural programme. I Am A Creator is funded by investment from Arts Council England, through our status as an ACE National Portfolio Organisation.

This programme has seen us working with family auidences and targeted groups in Bassetlaw, Ashfield, Mansfield and Newark & Sherwood.

Our target groups are:

People affected by dementia
Older people
Specialist schools
Neurodivergent families
Wider public audiences, including audiences that can be/feel excluded from the arts

Inspire worked with seven professional writers and five professional artists to develop their creative practices for these target groups; to work collaboratively and engage creatively to produce co-created new stories and narratives.
