A team of organisations have come together to deliver a month-long programme of creative workshops for Rotherham residents, encouraging participants to “learn new creative skills, rekindle an old passion and just have fun”.
From circus skills to textiles, poetry to podcasting, open mics and much more, there are creative workshops running every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday between 2nd and 25th September in the courtyard of Imperial Buildings on Rotherham high street.
Creative Lives, in partnership with Flux Rotherham, BBC Radio Sheffield and Children’s Capital of Culture, have programmed the free, drop-in workshops for children, teenagers, young people and adults to get creative juices flowing in the borough. BBC Radio Sheffield has also moved into a pop-up studio at Imperial Building this month, to increase its coverage of Rotherham.
Creative Lives’ Chief Executive, Robin Simpson, said: “Creative Lives is thrilled to be partnering with BBC Radio Sheffield, Children’s Capital of Culture and Flux Rotherham to showcase the incredible creative talent that exists in Rotherham’s communities. This project exemplifies our mission of building creative communities by bringing people together, celebrating local creativity, and demonstrating how collaborative creative activity can strengthen civic pride and community connections.”
