Assembled Moments was founded by Stacie Bates, a playwright, director, and educator. After moving to London for acting training and work, she returned home years later, only to discover a continued lack of theatre and acting opportunities for young people in her community. As a female theatre maker passionate about physical theatre, she collaborated with fellow creatives, including producer Katie Spencer, to produce their inaugural work, "Future First." This eco play, created in collaboration with local teenagers, premiered as part of The Play on Words Festival Forest Arts, offering a futuristic fantasy adventure centred on climate hope.
