‘I wanted to play hearing roles, scripts that didn’t necessarily have a deaf storyline, characters that fall in love, have an amazing s*x life, or gun down loads of people, hold up a bank or whatever.’

The final episode of the Shaping Tomorrow video podcast is brilliant and we can't wait for everyone to see it tonight.

The phenomenally talented Sophie Stone and Maxine Peake in conversation about breaking stereotypes on and off screen - tune in at 7pm!

The Sundae summer round-up is here ☀️

Ok, yes, it’s October, but it was an event-full summer and it took us a minute to take stock.

Since we launched in 2011, we have created, developed and promoted hundreds of festivals and events of all sizes, but this year we put a focus on local. Why? It’s become more and more apparent that festival line-ups are impacted by availability of talent, and new talent needs opportunity to grow.

We added some incredible grassroots and hyperlocal events to our roster of national and international events, to ensure that instead of simply talking about the gaps in diversity, we contribute to the development of the industry from the ground up.

Universally Manchester: Where Great Things Come Together ✨

We’re thrilled to be celebrating The University of Manchester's 200th anniversary with a stunning city-wide exhibition popping all over Manchester.

The exhibition features words by university alumni and creatives Cheddar Gorgeous, Prof Jeanette Winterson, Josh Widdicombe, Mathew Horne, Lemn Sissay MBE and Rob Rinder, reflecting their time at the institution.

The vibrant artwork was brought to life by Louise Hardman, John Owens, Beth Wilkinson, and Eleanor Thomas, and can be found on digital and print sites across the city, including two colourful murals at Mayfield Park, painted by the amazing OPEN MINDS.

The huge celebration is set to culminate at the Universally Manchester Festival on 6-9 June and we can barely wait! 🎉

What a year! From being part of the iconic Chanel Métiers d’Art show in Manchester to working on the launch of Factory International’s Aviva Studios and some wild nights at Glastonbury Festival's Shangri-La, it’s been one hell of a ride.

We sang along to Fall Out Boy at Band on the Wall, experienced the spectacular Russell Maliphant Dance Company, and slayed Pride Classical's biggest Pride anthems.

Sainte Victoire, anyone? We welcomed series three of the unmissable ‘Madame Blanc Mysteries’, alongside Saffron Cherry Television and Clapperboard Studios, opened groundbreaking conversations with Jackie Adedeji and Ruby Rare, and even helped the wonderful Joanie Clothing gals with their very first pop-up shop.

And this is just the cherry on top of the Sundae.

Stay tuned for our 2024 shenanigans! x
