Tables with red checkered cloths and salt and vinegar a-plenty, were spread out around the hall, allowing the audience to come together and have a natter before the show kicked off.

As the play began, whilst we munched away on our Fish and Chip supper, the au…

For our first CREATE Tour project of 2018, we worked with RJC Dance to provide a number of carnival dance workshops to young people across North Yorkshire: at Tuned In! Redcar, at Butterflies Dance School in Thirsk and at Primary Schools Badger Hill Primary and Whitecliffe Primary, both in Saltburn-by-the-sea.
