Creative Network South

Swan Samba is a Hampshire-based samba fusion drumming and movement band, proudly affiliated with Roynon Performing Arts since 2019. Our core aim is to provide accessible, enjoyable drumming experiences while supporting community wellbeing, fitness, cultural connections and musical understanding. Swan Samba have performed at events across the south including Wickham Festival, Winchester Hat Fair, Andover Carnival, Winchester Bonfire Procession and Eastleigh Mela as well as numerous appearances on TV and radio. We deliver workshops across a range of schools, community organisations and corporate retreats and welcome all enquiries!

Coda Music and Arts Trust is a charity based on the Dorset-Hampshire border, dedicated to making music and creativity accessible for all. We believe in the power of the arts to support wellbeing, inclusion, and personal growth through participation, learning, and therapy. We offer a wide range of opportunities-from music lessons and creative workshops to group music-making and arts therapies-designed for people of all ages and abilities. Whether it’s after-school sessions for kids or wellbeing programmes for adults, Coda provides meaningful, creative experiences for the whole community!

Proteus is a touring theatre company and arts centre in Basingstoke, telling stories that foster empathy for the ‘other’ and supporting others to do the same. Our artist development, participatory programmes, and accessible performances at Creation Space nurture creative communities and inspire local audiences. We tour ambitious socially aware work across the UK, highlighting issues like PTSD, body dysmorphia, and domestic violence through award-winning and cross-artform projects. For 40 years, Proteus has built a reputation for high-quality shows, including internationally acclaimed productions. We prioritise casting artists from protected characteristic groups, especially in rural family tours.
