INVEST IN YOURSELF: RISE UP
RISE UP is Paperwork Theatre’s flagship community arts campaign for women, highly regarded as an inclusive, vibrant arts and skills development offer in the North West. We deliver courses, projects and productions which empower women in Liverpool and Knowsley to take centre stage, with opportunities to share stories, that are vibrant, inspirational and entertaining.
Across 12 weekly sessions you will:
- Meet new friends and collaborators, developing confidence whilst building a network of peers
- Work as part of an ensemble to develop your performance and acting skills
- Work with a professional director to rehearse a scripted play
- Perform at Shakespeare North Playhouse for a live audience
It’s been transformative. I’ve made amazing friends and networks and have learnt and grown so much. I’ve got back my love for performing and can’t wait to continue this creative journey!

When is it?
We’re not currently recruiting for RISE UP. Details for next term will be coming soon, keep an eye on our socials
Who can join?
This project is an inclusive space for all women aged 18+ from the Liverpool City Region. There is no upper age limit. It is aimed at women who would describe themselves as emerging/early career in their practice with an interest in the arts.
You don’t need experience to take part, however any skills you do have will be used!
I’ve loved every minute. It’s been amazing and transformative to learn so much with this incredible group. It’s given me the drive to get back to the creative arts and the belief in myself that I can do it.
