Pupils from Hillcrest Academy will be taking to the outdoor performance space to perform dance and theatre pieces they've devised. These pieces will be inspired by an earlier visit they made to see the Lincoln Greeners gardening group, where they harvested vegetables and chatted with participants.
Organised in partnership NSCD and Leeds Playhouse.
This event is part of ‘Flourish’, Mafwa Theatre’s programme of summer activities and events designed to bring the vibrant communities of Lincoln Green together and celebrate the official launch of the Roxby Community Garden. This is the culmination of 2 years of work to transform a disused playground into a space for residents to play, perform and grow in.
Flourish will showcase work by local and national artists exploring our relationship with nature and the importance of sustainability, community and creative expression. The Roxby Community Garden has been created in partnership with Leeds City Council with support from Veolia Environmental Trust, Horticon, Leeds 2023 and Arts Council England.
