Collective Home: Community Play
Location

Time
Using a mixture of theatre and film footage, we want to tell the stories which make up Garelochhead, past and present, through a large-scale community theatre and film project. If you live in Garelochhead and are interested in acting, directing, playing music, filmmaking, writing, singing, stage management, building sets, costume, make up, or photography, this is the project for you. Or if you just want to hang about, have a laugh and contribute some tales from the sidelines, that’s great too.
This Collective Home project, led by Bafta winning director and Cove Park embedded artist Kenny Glennan, aims to involve everyone in the Garelochhead village – all ages, any ability, everyone is welcome.
The first information meeting will take place at Centre 81, Old School Road, G84 0AT.
Collective Home: Community, Creativity & Action in Argyll is one of the 23 Scotland-wide projects awarded funding through Culture Collective in 2026-2027.
Funded by the Scottish Government, Culture Collective places creativity at the heart of community development, supporting artists and organisations to work directly with communities, respond to local priorities, strengthen local identity and create paid opportunities for creative practitioners.
Focussed upon the concept of home and what this means now for communities in Argyll, our project reflects the distinct character and composition of our rural and coastal region. Through sustained projects devised collaboratively by the creative practitioners we support and the participating communities, we will explore what home means for young people in Argyll, for those facing the challenges of the climate crisis, and for those with lived experience of displacement and settling in this region. Developed in partnership with local organisations, our work will harness the power of creativity and collective action to build community, promote cultural exchange, and enhance lives.
