The Anthems for Barrow were commissioned during the COVID19 global pandemic as a way of celebrating what we hold dear and helping the community to recover. We asked 5 musicians and 1 spoken word artist all from Barrow to create tracks about the town with its people.
Olly McKenzie, a young musician, faces a conflict between love and duty in his home town where the desire to escape is only equalled by the fear of failure in the bigger world. Outside his window, the rain is torrential, and another Cumbrian season of downpours is about to wash Olly’s world away.
So you’ve got your degree in a Performing Arts or other Arts subject? You want to get going but have no clue where to start? The problems and barriers seem insurmountable?
We run a whole host of creative activities for children, young people and families. At the moment these are on Zoom but will be back face to face in our studio as soon as possible.
In response to COVID19 Theatre Factory is moving performances outdoors. Working outside will be very different, we’ll meet lots of challenges along the way and lots of new people as well. First up is #1. Dog Days. We hope that you will all get involved and remember . . . You’ll Need Your Big Coat!
At Theatre Factory we make stories in many forms: theatre (indoors and out) animation, digital and sound.
We make stories in collaboration with children, young people and the occasional adult. Their ideas, your ideas, are at the heart of everything we do.
We share the stories locally and regionally from our home in Barrow-in-Furness and help to nurture emerging local artists. In short, we offer story based activities which we hope build resilience, hope and happiness
