Claybody’s work is inspired by the lives and experiences of people local to Stoke-on-Trent, and we are joined in our endeavours by a fabulous, diverse range of local people who form our Claybody Community Company. 
 
The Community Company enrich our productions by performing onstage, and volunteering Front of House and backstage. 
'The best thing for me is that it has made me realise how lucky I am to come from Stoke and to live here.  
Seeing the city through Claybody's eyes has reinforced my pride in my home town, through performance and story telling.'

Our Community Company and the wider communities of Stoke-on-Trent also support script development through consultation events and individual interviews.
