Cartwheel produces a diverse variety of work, using many different media and artforms. We currently group our projects, training programmes and arts development work into four thematic sections, often interconnected, which we call The Matrix. Long raincoats and dark glasses are not required. Any work undertaken by the company will fit into one - or more - of these sections.

The largest section is Community Cohesion, which covers a range of projects building links within and between communities.  Our two largest projects currently, Darnhill Festival and Tell Us Another One, both sit in this section, but have tentacles spreading into other sections. Developing our Sector covers training and networking. Youth and Diversity is a new grouping which will bring together our work with young people and with BME, especially South Asian, communities in the region. Home & Away is the most enigmatic, and also the newest, section which will eventually contain a body of work examining issues of displacement, loyalty, identity and belonging.
