Made in Cornwall Scratch Nights

If you’re making performance work and don’t know how to take it to the next level, then a Scratch Night might be just what you need. 

A Scratch Night is about being brave and testing your idea in front of a friendly, creative and constructive audience who will then give you feedback.   

We hope to see you at our next Made in Cornwall Scratch Night: 

MIRACLE THEATRE

Our ‘Made in Cornwall Scratch Nights’ are a collaboration between some of Cornwall’s cultural institutions which means you get some of the regions leading brains, experience and creativity in a room with you. 

Together, we want to establish a vibrant Scratch culture in Cornwall. A safe space for exploration and a fertile ground for discussion about new work within the artistic community.
