Kala the Arts

The Villagers are based in Gosport in Hampshire, and began life in 1986 with a production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Little Woodham (‘The 17th Century Village’). Every year since we have put on an open air production of one of Shakespeare’s plays, in Little Woodham and – in recent years – elsewhere across Southern England. Our aim is to enjoy ourselves, and to share some of that enjoyment with our audiences.

We’re a video production company specializing in high-end content for brands that want to stand out. With over 7 years of experience, we craft bold, beautifully shot films that bring stories to life. We specialize in unique short form content as well as brand & editorial films. Our work is creative, polished, and made to make an impact. Please see the website & instagram for the latest work.  

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.
