What We Do

Sweet Patootee Arts is driven by a shared belief that everyone has a story to tell, and that storytelling can be a tool for multicultural audiences to participate in, learn from and engage with. We produce high-quality films and heritage projects.

We use our films as a catalyst to build learning and wellbeing in workshops and activities that draw upon oral history and first-hand accounts, performance, filmmaking, music and song, sound design, and digital media. This rich interpretation is informed by inclusive research and inspiring development.

We achieve this through collaborations with partners in the UK and internationally to reflect six target audiences: 

Schools (13-17)

We have created teacher resources in collaboration with Schools History Project

Young People (17-30)

We regularly co-produce workshops and facilitation for young people based on our TURNING POINT film

Elders

We have worked with companies such as XX to produce workshops such as dance tailored for 65+ year olds

Dementia Support

The cutting edge dementia support resources based on the TURNING POINT film are available on our website, and we help facilitate dementia support programmes with our partners. 

Mainstream Arts & Heritage 

We regularly partner with museums, galleries, libraries and public arts spaces to host our visual installations

The general public

Our public facing events, such as Q&As, film screenings and community days are intended to engage the general public from all backgrounds and regions

You will find a range of resources on our website, such as lesson plans linked to our TURNING POINT project, created by teachers from the Schools History Project for secondary schools which are linked to our TURNING POINT project, and leading-edge Dementia support programmes. We enjoy working with partners to explore how our educational films can become a jumping off point for multiple strands of learning and heritage facilitation.
