Situation
The group of 30 local residents from Sunderland want to make a piece of theatre that expresses the value of forging connections with people from different political persuasions, backgrounds and ages. This exploration feels especially important in the context of widening social divisions that impact their communities. The group brings together Brexit campaigners and Remainers, people aged 16 to 70+ and from a range of social economic backgrounds.
Solution
Unfolding Theatre will connect 30 Sunderland residents with ambitious, high-quality co-creation processes. ‘A Street Like This’ will be an inventive mix of song, original music, electronic soundscapes and theatrical performance. This artistically ambitious project will develop Unfolding Theatre’s co-creation artistic practice, ensuring that the community co-creators engage with every element of the creative process to shape an insightful, remarkable performance that will reach 2,750 audiences.
