Throughout the process we continually strove to meet the high standards and criteria of Arts Council England.  We always sought to meet each of their 5 goals:

Excellence – We always promised to commit 100% when working on our show, be it devising or rehearsing. This meant our expectation of one-another was very high and we hope that our quality of work reflected this.

For Everyone – As demonstrated, our company ethos seeks to celebrate everyone and their individuality, with our show reflecting a variety of characters and performances styles layered within.

Resilience and Sustainability –  We showed our resilience throughout the process, it was tough at times, but we pulled together as a company and created a strong show. Sustainability would be a huge issue for some companies, not for us. We do not rely heavily on props, set and costume and could therefore tour relatively cheaply, making us adaptable and thus a sustainable company.

Diversity and Skills – This is what sets us apart. We are nine individuals who all bring different skills and strengths to the table. We all originate from different areas of the UK, showing our diversity as a company.

Children and Young People – Whilst Kalopsia was not specifically created for children, it was certainly suitable for young people. Furthermore, being a diverse and talented group of people, The Pin Hinge Collective would not disregard the idea of creating a children’s show.
