Applause Rural Touring has teamed up with performance company Casson & Friends and together they have been selected to work with the Creative Estuary initiative throughout 2025.
The Let’s Play Thurrock! project will locally create and tour a brand-new version of participatory dance work ARCADE, performed by and working with an intergenerational cast from the Thurrock area.
It is one of 11 co-commissions selected to explore the rich past of six towns and engage with the local communities in London, Essex and Kent, who are linked by the historic waterway.
The Creative Estuary project will include live performances, workshops, filmmaking, immersive art and storytelling from a diverse group of artists and companies.
