Claybody shapes new and ambitious drama from the unique cultural heritage and contemporary lives of the people of North Staffordshire and Stoke on Trent.
Claybody Theatre was established in 2013 and has promoted the performing arts thereafter – primarily through live and audio drama: including dance, music, singing, and dramatic writing. Activities include professional live performances and events, audio dramas, film and digital content, work with children and young people.
The work of Claybody Theatre is inspired by the heritage of Stoke on Trent and the lived experiences of its diverse communities. Local people engage with the work as participants, volunteers, research consultants, co-creators, and audiences. We offer mentoring opportunities to young people and early career artists.
