FAQs
How much does a membership cost?
Collective memberships cost £25 for the year.
Our Arts Pot scheme offers financial support for anyone who needs it.
Arts Pot can be used to help cover project and workshop fees, and the cost of travel to and from the Theatre. We fundraise for the Arts Pot every year and it is there for anyone who needs it! Asking for Arts Pot support will not affect your application for a Collective membership.

How do I get a Collective Membership?
You do not need to attend a formal workshop to join the Collective.
Once you have paid for a membership – either the £25 or through our financial scheme Arts Pot – you will have open-access to all our workshops for a year from the day of your purchase.
How often are the collective workshops?
The Collective workshops run in term time and tend to work in modules/blocks.
We generally try to lead at least 4-6 workshops in a block, but sometimes there can be more if we have project-based workshops during the half term or over the weekend.
Do Collective members get access to the Young Company?
The Young Company and Collective are two entirely separate programmes.
As part of our the Young Company offer, members are granted immediate access to the Collective workshops. This sadly doesn’t work the other way round unless Collective members are also part of the Young Company to benefit from this course.
