Our Freedom: Stockton Rising, is a special live event reflecting on what freedom means to members of Stockton’s community, 80 years after the end of the Second World War.
Taking place on Tue 11 Nov at 8pm, the event will showcases original work co-created by local participants from ARC’s regular creative engagement classes, refugees and asylum seekers who now call Stockton home, and our award-winning associate company of learning disabled theatre makers, Full Circle.
The production brings together each group’s creative responses to ‘Freedom Road’, a specially commissioned poem by Poet Laureate Simon Armitage. Each moment offers a window into their personal, imaginative and hope-filled answers to the question: ‘what does freedom mean to you, here and now?’
Expect the unexpected: original music, bold storytelling, inspiring films, powerful drama, vibrant movement, and immersive projections – interwoven into one electrifying evening.
Our Freedom: Then & Now as a national, UK-wide project. ARC is one of 60 arts centres and libraries producing projects for Our Freedom: Then and Now; part of a £2million national creative programme supported by UK Government through Arts Council England.
Join us at a live event like no other – where community, creativity, and courage collide.
