They didn’t just bring simple positives and negatives to the table, they shared the full breadth of their lived experience. Kate explored and developed characters, the overall story arc and started composing music and lyrics. The 4 days of online creation concluded with an online sharing. The audience included Kate’s of my peers from the arts sector and those from the weight-loss group community who had been interviewed for the musical. Watch a snippet of the sharing below. The first R&D reiterated Kate’s belief that Off the Scales isn’t about promoting going to a weight loss group to lose weight to have a happier life. It’s about finding people who you can be authentic around. It’s about watching a group of characters grow in confidence. It’s about refusing to wait to be ‘thin enough’ to have an enjoyable life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed95782683f403f28f385d5/ecec49f4-f174-4ad7-861b-b302b467aca6/Sports+6.png The Project R&D Phase 2 Thanks to further funding from Arts Council England, investment from the Stage One bursary programme, and great feedback from those who’ve engaged in the project so far, Off the Scales is currently in its second R&D phase. Now, the team is busy writing the show, developing the scenes with actors, and piecing all the ideas together into a full show. Off the Scales isn’t just about Kate’s story, it’s about yours too.

She’s worked in the cultural sector for over 10 years for a range of companies, creating theatre, dance, cabaret, spoken word, puppetry and circus. What makes her tick is working with real-life stories, artists and communities who are undervalued or under-represented and often outside of traditional theatre spaces. Her role in the arts is often about facilitating and supporting. With Off the Scales, she’s shaking things up and realising an ambition she’s had for years: making her own show! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed95782683f403f28f385d5/9b65f027-9d86-4d7a-933f-d430d521a870/Aileen+Headshot.jpg Meet the Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed95782683f403f28f385d5/1626865508603-ZQSZHAPWNSOO8A8ETZ0F/Molly%2BHeadshot.jpg Meet the Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed95782683f403f28f385d5/1669226179385-TF4MUBOOEQD4W03YBAPG/Sports+3.png Meet the Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed95782683f403f28f385d5/ea3cd240-2333-414e-a120-f92e10e0277c/Amy+Webber.+Photo+by+Karla+Gowlett.jpeg Meet the Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed95782683f403f28f385d5/7a2d13ed-1ad9-49f8-8980-0108dd2f71fc/Elise+Gilbert.+Photo+by+Victoria+Smith.jpg Meet the Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed95782683f403f28f385d5/0614f425-3960-495b-9b80-93a10a66276d/Jordan+Whyte.+Photo+by+Jennie+Scott.jpg Meet the Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed95782683f403f28f385d5/997b8a1c-18ff-4307-bb72-21e019f4ab47/Lorna+Rees.+Pic+by+Jayne+Jackson.jpeg Meet the Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed95782683f403f28f385d5/13149d0f-dcb1-47fa-9cdb-d6907a4919df/Susanna+Amato.+Photo+by+Michael+Pollard.jpg Meet the Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed95782683f403f28f385d5/a2a10092-4991-4cfe-ba66-20de228c40bd/Olivia+Tetlow.+Photo+by+Chelsey+Cliff.jpg Meet the Team https://www.offthescalesproduction.co.uk/contact-us daily 0.75 2024-03-04 https://www.offthescalesproduction.co.uk/taken-part daily 0.75 2024-03-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511387030-5LI1E5QMVTQ2RY9S00A4/20140228_Trade+151_0046+1.jpg How have people taken part so far? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511743693-J3A8OYH6X8C7RXNU5K0J/20140301_Trade+151_0124+1.jpg How have people taken part so far? https://www.offthescalesproduction.co.uk/rd-2021-team-cast daily 0.75 2024-02-05 https://www.offthescalesproduction.co.uk/take-part daily 0.75 2024-03-04
