All about the Alternative work we promote and how it's created
About Us
Sharing. Creating. Inspiring.
We like to think of The Alternative Space as somewhere for people to
explore alternative ways of thinking, doing, and being,
Here people are free to engage with alternative ways of going about things,
centred around our Alternative work in Shakespeare, Theatre, and Being.
We hope your curiosity about our work helps bring about a new perspective on
the world about us, in a way that is both satisfying and exciting.
AlternativeSpace
We believe in the power of Alternatives. Look around at what is currently accepted, try
to understand what it's all about, and then explore plausible alternatives.
That's what we do.
And the best way of discovering what alternatives there could be
is to re-imagine the something that now is as . . . nothing.
From out of the space of nothingness,
then comes ...
Our Ethos
Sharing. Creating. Inspiring.
Many creatives and thinkers have inspired our creative work; it would be lovely for
us to inspire others too. On this website, we share what makes us tick,
how we go about things, and what we want to achieve.
When creating our work, a transformation takes place, both in it and to ourselves.
The energy of this change informs everything that happens.
We hope that sharing the insights we've gained over the last
20 years will help inspire the work of others.
Sharing
It's a 2 way street!
Why sharing makes us tick
For us, sharing is the bedrock of being creative and everything we do,
as something is given, so it develops and grows.
How we share
We do this by taking and giving in equal measure over a period of time,
never expecting a return but grateful when it happens.
What we want to achieve
We want to continue working collaboratively, building links
with people who share a similar outlook and purpose.
Creating
Decreating, recreating, creating!
Why creating makes us tick
Decreating, recreating, and creating, each presents us with unique challenges
and rewards. They're also a damn good way of having fun!
How we go about creating
We start by taking something apart, focusing on the best of what works,
and then creating new pieces, with some of our own bits added.
What we want to achieve
We aim to create works (podcasts, published books, audiobooks,
stage plays, downloads etc.) that encourage people to discover
their own thoughts, feelings, and insights.
Inspiring
Let's light up the sky!
Why inspiring makes us tick
The joy of discovery, learning, and creating, inspires and energises
us in everything we set out to do.
How we inspire
We do this by documenting, and then making available, our creative processes,
outputs, and insights, to act as examples for others who might be interested.
What we want to achieve
To continue inspiring and being inspired; wouldn't it be lovely if we all
only did things that truly inspired us . . . maybe one day!
