Exciting four-week residency at Harrogate Theatre which will offer a 'voice for older people's stories'
A “really exciting experience for older members of the Harrogate community” is on offer this weekend at Harrogate Theatre.
In the run-up to a new project at Harrogate Theatre by The Performance Ensemble which starts in June, this Saturday will see an informal event, where people can gather information and ask questions with the team.
It’s all part of the preparations for a four-week residency at Harrogate Theatre by the Leeds-based arts organisation.
Called Sinfonia: Stories from Harrogate, the project aims to give a voice for older people's stories.
The end result will be a rich tapestry of performance, choreographed movement and original music woven from stories of older people across the Harrogate area.
This Saturday's event at the Circle Bar in Harrogate Theatre will run from 11am to 12.30pm and will be attended by Artistic Director Alan Lyddiard and The Performance Ensemble team.
It’s a golden opportunity over a cuppa to ask questions and see how you can be part of a special production.
A spokesperson for The Performance Ensemble said: "We are looking for people to get involved as performers and help us connect with the local community.
"This show has been successful previously, so it is a really exciting opportunity for the Harrogate community to be involved with.
