This is an Artist Networking event for knowledge exchange, peer support and inspiration, with a focus on amplifying and developing work.

Two artists involved in our Festival Connect & Create programme will be giving talks:

Gemma Paintin

Gemma, together with James Stenhouse, runs the live art and performance company, Action Hero. They create artworks that explore what is it to be human now.  Their long-form, shape-shifting collaboration spans performance, installation, sound, events & social practice.

Dan Canham

A prolific, award-winning choreographer and filmmaker, Dan Canham’s work explores the intersection between dance, community and place. His film, Four Portraits from an Edgeland, is showing at this year’s Festival.

Festival Connect & Create – celebrating voices of children, young people and their communities.

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.
