Arty Farty Highlights
On Friday 18th March 2022, we held an event at AJs Academy, Moston to conclude the initial research and development stage of our new show, Census. We had live music, poetry and art on display alongside food and huge community spirit. Thank you so much to everyone that came down.

Arty Farty Highlights
Alright, be honest: what good are the arts? What do they mean? What are they for? Do you and your community need the arts – or want them? Arty Farty is the latest instalment of Manchester International Festival's micro-international festivals created and streamed from home by Greater Manchester artists.

Have you heard about our new show census?
A celebration of working-class history and identity.
The show presents a powerful mix of autobiographical material; alongside the abundant lived experience of community members, to ignite local pride, and much-needed conversations.
GETTING TO KNOW ANCOATS
Miniature statues of current local legends will be placed across Ancoats this August. The trail will take you over cobbled streets, to historical buildings and through parts of Ancoats you’ve maybe never seen before. Accompanied by a unique audio piece featuring voices from the Ancoats community.

Creative, hard working and fun to work with. I can’t recommend them enough as divisors and theatre makers. An outstanding pair!
