In partnership with Riding Lights Theatre Company, Friargate Theatre was transformed into a vibrant and welcoming CREATIVE HUB for 2 weeks.
York’s creative community was warmly welcomed to meet, collaborate and develop new work. Accompanied by a versatile programme of 8 workshops and events for training and skills development.
Managing the project and a team of 5, I was hands on in the space to help artists connect and find synergies in the work they wanted to make. Beginning with a “Grab the Mic Night” and ending with a “Test Drive Scratch Night”, 8 new pieces of theatre grew from the space.
“Thanks so much for putting on the scratch night. It really gave me a huge enjoyment to see a wide range of different things.
It was invaluable for our process as a theatre company as this was the first time we have performed anything. To do this with such a welcoming team was brilliant.”
