Are you curious about performance? Passionate about the environment? Do you want a safe space to develop your skills with like-minded people?
Join the New Creatives!
The New Creatives is a free programme for young people in Peterborough, aged 14-24, who want to create exciting events and projects with professional artists.
We meet weekly from October to May, working together creating exciting projects that tackle local environmental issues. It's a fun, supportive space to build your skills, share ideas, and make real change through art, performance, and more.
Term-by-term commitment means you can try it for one term and decide if you want to continue. No pressure to stay for the whole year, although you're very welcome to!
When: Wednesdays, 5-7 pm
January 7, 14, 21, 28
Febuary 4, 11, 25
March 4
