an invitation to assemble with ark sheffield

 

Join RESOLVE and SADACCA for three-days of exciting workshops and social events as we collaboratively prepare for the 'flood'. We'll eat, move, listen, act and assemble together at the G-Mill event space, where we'll create an installation inscribed with stories of movement, migration, memory and climate justice. On 6th April you're invited to travel with the installation as it moves through the centre of Sheffield and takes up temporary residence in the Adelphi Rooms at Sheffield Theatres as part of Together in the City. Find out how to join us at the crucible on 6th April. â–ºâ–º

On 6th April, a collaboratively built ark, assembled with RESOLVE at SADACCA from found materials, will travel through the city to The Crucible. The project will culminate in a performance at the Crucible Theatre at 8:30pm featuring people from across the city. Voices will take to the stage, as we listen and travel with them into lives, find resonances, and weave together possibilities for being with one another…

ark sheffield has been Initiated by Sheffield Hallam University Lecturers Dr Tom Payne (Humanities) and Dr Julia Udall (Natural and Built Environment) with Dr Alex De Little (Goldsmiths Centre for Sound Practice Research). The project is supported by Sheffield Theatres, as part of Together in the City festival (2022); with additional funding support from UK Research and Innovation and Sheffield Hallam University. ark sheffield is produced in partnership with Sheffield Hallam University, Goldsmiths University, GumboFM, Blend Kitchen, Heeley City Farm, Foodhall, Open Kitchen Social Club, The Wood Fired Pizza Company, SADACCA, Sheffield Museums, Sheffield City of Sanctuary, RESOLVE Collective, University of Leeds, and UK Research and Innovation. ark was conceived in 2015 by Tom Payne as part of his post-doctoral research for the Cymerau case study for the Arts and Humanities Research Council’s Towards Hydrocitizenship. It was developed in mid-Wales with support from National Theatre Wales’s Summer Camp (Broneirion, 2015) and Wales Lab (Aberystwyth, 2019). It has received additional funding from the Department of Humanities Research and Innovation Fund (2017 - present). With special thanks to those who supported and contributed to the earlier phases of development, including Simon Coates, Kully Thiarai, Lucy Wood, Jacob Gough, Sam Christie, Jenny Hall, Adrian Kear, and Rosie Strickland. The unique community engagement and performance methodology behind ark sheffield has been developed by Tom Payne, Julia Udall and Alex De Little at Sheffield Hallam University as part of the Economic and Social Research Council’s Festival of Social Science’s event, Amplifying Climate Dialogues (2021), and through collaborative working with the team, our community partners and Sheffield Theatres.
