Me

We are storytellers that listen, respond and rethink our world.

We work with community groups and clients to create campaigns encompassing live performances, short films, virtual reality (VR) experiences, and workshops that shift perspectives on gendered violence.

In the past, we’ve performed on sea-fronts, in car parks, and even on trains. Our campaigns have encompassed topics such as sexual assault and harassment and spiking in nightclubs. 

 

We have been commissioned by both arts organisations, such as Camden People’s Theatre, Worthing Theatres and Museums and The Birmingham Hippodrome, as well as non-arts organisations who resonated with the political message of our work, including The Birmingham Commonwealth Games, West Midlands Combined Authority, and Comic Relief. 

Calico is the base upon which community conversations are built, and real stories are told. We want to get people talking.

Calico ran a movement workshop for our Young Community Drop-In sessions. As a facilitator myself I was able to learn different approaches to making movement from scratch and found the workshop to be great CPD. The young people that participated also seemed to really enjoy the workshop, they were encouraged to be themselves and explore. The workshop with Calico was a wholesome experience and I would love to work with them again.

It was such a joy to work with Calico. Their passion about the project and the energy invested was contagious. When it came to edit hte video together during the post-production process, my life was made so simple. I received concise and clear direction as well as messaging throughout. The instructions consistently stayed true to the initial vision which is a videographers dream. In addition to outstanding leadership, it was a wonderful team effort. Calico enable a safe space for everyone to express themselves. I would work with Calico again without hesitation
