Who is Rowbot Street?

Rowbot Street is an innovative arts production organisation that works with young people and local community groups to create short films, animations and puppet projects.The aim of the organisation is to produce work in such a way that:

• - engages people and local groups in the development of small arts projects
• - encourages people to express their views through different arts media
• - helps people develop skills and confidence in using an arts approach
• - offers opportunities outside of formal education to try new skills and work with others

Rowbot Street is a newly formed ‘not-for-profit’ social enterprise based in the North West of the UK aiming to work mainly within the Lancashire area. It draws on the experiences of its two lead members Dan & Alice Rowbottom.

Alice has recently graduated from John Moores University with a 2:1 in Drama. She has been working for 6 years as a volunteer drama worker at Ribble Valley Youth Theatre.

Dan studied animation to degree level and has over 9 years produced a number of short films both live action and animation based. Dan has worked with mental health groups, drug rehabilitation groups, homeless people and other community groups producing short films, animations and comics and it is the aim of Rowbot Street to pursue this work in the local area for the benefit of the local community.
