Portal: New Writing Collective is a Dorset-based playwriting group, established in early 2018 to build a fertile and supportive environment in which local writers have the opportunity to share and develop their skills and practice, with the aim of individual and collective professional progression. With a commitment to engaging with and strengthening the local cultural provision, the group have made connections with Bournemouth Emerging Arts Festival (BEAF), Head To Toe Theatre Company and Matt West of ArtfulScribe, as well as freelance local actors and directors. Meeting and sharing work on a monthly basis, the group staged a scratch night of their work at the Lighthouse in May 2019 and will produce ‘Chasms’, for Paines Plough’s Roundabout festival in September 2019.
