"Heritage is my family, my clothes, my traditions."
Sugar & Spice is an intergenerational project celebrating the people, the places, and the spaces which helped shape the High Street as we know it today. Using oral histories & research groups are joining together to celebrate the stories of their local community.
Children have animated heritage stories using shadow puppetry, drama, creative writing, collage and even tried a “trashion” show!
The project will culminate with a performance, touring exhibition and poetry night co-created with local people between 7-70 in age.
See the work our Youth Theatre are making, and find out about our Home Grown project for young artists and writers.
