Together in the City

25th March 2022

Together in the City: An event to showcase a series of co-created community projects.

Sheffield Theatres announces Together in the City: a venture to enable and support 19 individual creative projects across 26 project groups in and around Sheffield. The projects have been progressing over the last few months, with each developing different art forms, concluding with an on-stage sharing and celebration event on Tuesday 5 and Wednesday 6 April in the Crucible. Through exhibitions, installations and workshops in the Crucible foyer, as well as performances on the main stage, we will create a celebratory community takeover of the theatre across these two days

Both days aim to celebrate the creativeness of the city and create a joyful, uplifting atmosphere. The event is a drop-in event which is free to attend.  Together in the City is the culmination of a year-long programme of activity supported by the Garfield Weston Foundation, whose funding has enabled wider development of Sheffield Theatres’ participation projects within local communities

Sally Wilson, Project Manager at Sheffield Theatres, said:

‘What better way to celebrate the creativity and diversity of our local communities than with a fusion of art, performance and culture in the Crucible. We’re so excited to see the range of co-designed projects with our communities coming to life, to be shared and celebrated with the people of our City. There’s something for everyone over the two-day celebration, from family-friendly workshops on 5 April to empowering debate for older audiences on 6 April. We will come together to see the world through the eyes of others and enjoy collectively the creative talents of Sheffield’s people.’
