The Lock-in is an ongoing monthly event for our outstanding outsider artists to try out their new uncensored work. Expect brilliant new writing, spoken word and music from unheard voices.

About

The Lock-In is an ongoing monthly event for our outstanding outsider artists to try out their new work. We have selected some outstanding emerging artists - expect new writing, spoken word and music from unheard voices. Expect strong language, uncensored stories and brilliant writing. 

 

The Outsiders Project focuses on working with the unheard and marginalised members of the community of Boscombe, and the work is shown locally then shared with a wider world. We run workshops and the monthly Lock-In, and make work on our own and in partnership with other organisations.

 

“The Outsiders Project is a genuine route into writing and performing for people who wouldn’t otherwise find their way into it. It’s a magic world for a lot of people. Especially people who’ve had tough lives. Lives out of the arts. Outside the enchanted wall. The Outsiders Project is about breaking the spell. Smashing down the wall.” Damian Le Bas, writer of The Stopping Places, A Journey Through Gypsy Britain

 

The Lock-In is directed and produced by Jo Billingham, Creative Associate for The Outsiders Project. 

 

The Outsiders Project is a BEAF Arts Co project.

Supported by: Arts Council England, Lottery Community Fund, People’s Health Trust, Paul Hamlyn Foundation, Alpine Fellowship, Sovereign Centre, Talbot Village Trust, Recreate Dorset.

 

Please note this is a 16+ event. 

Content warning: The Lock-in contains strong language and references drugs, violence and abuse. 

 

Please note that this performance is an alcohol-free space. We won’t be offering drinks and please do not bring your own drinks in to respect the performers. The Outsiders Project vision is to show that people side-lined from society can write, perform and create work at the highest level in a safe space and supportive environment. Our theatre in B.A.D. is part of our Safe Homes Network.
