We caught up with 2025 Creation Space recipients Az2B Theatre Company, whose new Cornish musical Redemption has been taking shape with the support of HfC. 

Creation Space is a Husa initiative, a scheme we've established and retuned over the last decade, providing Cornwall-based artists and creatives an opportunity to forge new work and test ideas as part of HfC’s drive to champion artists and creative careers in Cornwall. 

In 2017 Az2B used a Creation Space grant to develop Grandma on the Moon, which went on to tour nationally and continues to engage audiences around the issues of death and bereavement from a young child’s perspective. 

In 2025, we were pleased to welcome artistic director Belinda Lazenby and the team back as they began to develop Redemption, a new musical exploring issues right at the heart of the national conversation including pollution, cost-of-living and housing. 

“We have had an amazing week, the sheer amount of material generated has been huge! Discussion and brainstorming have consolidated our themes and we now have a clear sense of the structure of the play alongside the music composition from Martin Skews. We are very excited to have begun this journey and are grateful for HfC’s Husa programme and the Creation Space grant.”
- Belinda Lazenby, Az2B Artistic Director
