开放式扣使戏剧，结合创造性和社会参与的做法，在独特和强大的方式。阐述和评估公司活动的全部范围是具有挑战性的，因为它跨越了一系列实践的界限。该项目将使用开放式扣的档案文件，分析和反映其自1998年以来在社会变革戏剧工作的社会和美学的独特性和影响。通过将该公司置于女性主义戏剧的背景下，构建其独特贡献的历史，并评估其影响，它将对社会参与戏剧的辩论进行重大干预。

Open Clasp make theatre that integrates creative and socially engaged practice in unique and powerful ways. Articulating and evaluating the full scope of the company's activity is challenging because it crosses the boundaries of a range of practices. This project will use Open Clasp's archive to document, analyse and reflect on the social and aesthetic distinctiveness and impact of its work in theatre for social change since 1998. By situating the company in the context of feminist theatre, constructing a history of its distinctive contribution, and evaluating its impact, it will make a significant intervention in debates on socially-engaged theatre.
