We encourage (and would really love to showcase) ALL the entertainers, with whatever skill set they have, to apply for the Community Stage.
Singers composers, dancers, comedians, jugglers, spoken word poets, drag artists, magicians, to name but a few. The stage is all encompassing, you just have to be local to Dorset.
