As part of The Mighty Creatives Emerge programme, I worked with Carise ZM to co-direct Emerge Festival Spalding, one of 12 taking place across the Midlands on the same day. Over six months we worked with two groups of young people: students from The Priory SEN school and Youth Takeover, South Holland Centre. We delivered multi-disciplinary workshops culminating in a youth-led, tri-locationed, Shakespearean-themed arts festival. The day included: flash mob, samba street procession, sensory zone, Elizabethan salon, Shakespearean olympics, walkabout theatre, Shakesqueer drag show, live music and more.
