**Dream Big. Dream Different.**

Welcome to imPOSSIBLE. A thriving global platform of the possible.

imPOSSIBLE Producing are Charlie and Gabby. We are Creative.

We founded imPOSSIBLE Producing Ltd and we make theatre, events, festivals, ideas, conversations and change happen.

We care about the world. We develop artists and new work. We work really hard and always deliver.

OUR MISSION: To make people and projects possible

Our bread and butter is developing people and creative projects. From our home in Cornwall, we put artists and big thinkers in the driving seat - with fulfilling, pioneering, sustainable and socially impactful results. We work locally, nationally and Internationally.

OUR VISION: A sustainable local, national and international cultural ecosystem with freelancers in the driving seat.

THE STRANDS OF WHAT WE DO

imPOSSIBLE’s creative engine makes a significant contribution to Cornwall’s ambition to be a world leading rural creative economy.

We produce a programme of high-quality cultural experiences by developing talent, new work, and audiences through three strands:

Productions: We create work to perform locally, nationally and internationally - spreading South West talent across our local landscape and across the globe.
Falmouth International Arts Festival (FIAFest): World-class theatre, music, dance & digital for audiences in Cornwall. An annual showcase event in partnership with local businesses that attracts 20,000 visitors + significant local audience / employment.
The Island Talent Development – Delivered in partnership with South West and National Cultural sector partners including: 6-month emerging artist programme & year-round talent dev w FE/HE students in Devon & Cornwall.

"With a rare spirit of goodwill & generosity imPOSSIBLE have resolutely made things happen & defied the odds. The region needs them" Mike Shepherd (Previous Artistic Director of Kneehigh 2022).

WHY DO WE EXIST

The company was co-founded in May 2020 by experienced producers Gabby Vautier (Young Vic, Barbican, MIF, Punchdrunk) and Charlie Bunker (WildWorks, Arts Council England) in response to the Pandemic and its devastating impact on individuals in the creative sectors. We knew we needed to help freelancers make things possible. We wanted to make Cornwall feel more connected to the rest of the world.

Our first project The Island in 2021 brought together 35 artists, producers and activists for conversation, producing support, R&D and retreats.Out of this at least 15 new projects were developed. This summer we launched FIAFest bringing and showcasing incredible International performance here in Cornwall.

In our first 2 years we have supported the development of scripts, shows, orchestras, podcasts and creative ideas and have produced shows, events and festivals. In the last year we have worked with over 600 artists & thousands of participants through delivering 27 creative projects, reaching over 50,000 audiences for our live work. We have supported training of 200 students and graduates and offered 32 placements across our programme of work. You can see our full list of achievements over the last 2 years on our What Have We Done page.

Information about all our shows can be found in our In Development, Been On and Whats On pages.

We are not a core funded organisation and there is just 2 of us. Hence the havoc. If you want to help us exist in the future please help by donating to our work here.

"Impossible Producing is exactly what Cornwall's needed for a very long time. Disparate, floating artists being supported, challenged & championed by two powerhouse women. It suddenly doesn't feel so precarious." Seamas Carey (Help I think I’m a Nationalist & The Reason Why Podcast)
