The Norwich Nine

April – May 2025

A project developed by Bootworks Theatre Co., The Norwich Nine will bring together a group of nine-year-old children at The Garage in Norwich to collaborate and create a performance piece for Norfolk & Norwich Festival 2025.

Over the course of a week, Bootworks and Director, James Peachey-Baker, work, play and listen to their young collaborators and together they create a performance, part theatre, part vox pops that explores that unique halfway point between birth and childhood.

In a nation described as an ‘adultist state’ – a place where the thoughts, opinions and perspectives of children have been marginalised. Nine is a project designed to counter this, providing a platform for children to tell it how it is, how it was… and how it could be.

Arts make life better

Norfolk & Norwich Festival brings tens of thousands of people together in celebration – it has been doing this for over 250 years. Through our May Festival and our year-round arts education work, focusing on children and young people, we lead and support celebration, creativity and curiosity in communities across Norfolk and the region.

This year we begin an exciting new initiative, Festival Connect & Create that will bring creative opportunities to those schools and communities with least provision. Creativity transforms people’s lives. It builds cohesive communities, develops vital skills and supports health and wellbeing. We want more people to have access to creative opportunities.

Please consider donating to support and develop this work. With your help we can increase access to the life changing power of the arts.
