On Demand

• "Destinies" film"Destinies" is a co-created filmed theatre piece created with young people with care experience and unaccompanied asylum seekers across Derby and Derbyshire in partnership with Sinfonia Viva, Derbyshire Virtual School and Orchestra Live. Ava Hunt Theatre produced "Destinies" across a two year period 2019 to 2021 navigating the Covid restrictions. Young people worked with artists specialising in writing, character creation, performing, animation, musical composition and lyric writing exploring how to trust, make new friends and what is home - 'Better to be friends together than strangers alone'.

• Our Impact Review The last couple of years have been anything but normal in terms of activity. So, rather than write a report which will sit on our website gathering virtual dust, we thought we’d do things a bit differently this year, to better reflect how we now communicate. We sat down with the Chair of our Board, Tony Stoller, and our CEO, Sarah Derbyshire MBE, to ask them to reflect on the last extraordinary 18 months in this film.
