Our city took centre stage with a series of performances, discussions and films made by, for and with the people of Manchester
Saturday 3 July 2021 in Festival Square was a day of reconnection and celebration: with music, conversations, performances, participatory activities and much more inspired by Festival in My House… and Yours – and by other Festival collaborations created over the last year with and by the people of Greater Manchester. Among the highlights…
- Are You Playing Out?, a beautiful new performance inspired by childhood and created for Festival Square by the MIF’s Young People’s Forum
- Performances from Wythenshawe’s Shooting Star Theatre School and Salford’s JD Dance, chosen and presented by our MIF Neighbourhood Organisers
- A welcome return for the Chorus of Others, created for Fatherland at MIF17
- Spoken word and music with the crew from Heritage Radio, Manchester’s 24-hour Islamic station
- Terrific young talent courtesy of KYSO and the Manchester United Foundation
- Capturing a Summer 2020, a snapshot of the lockdown from which we’re hopefully now emerging for good
We would like to thank Therme Group, Co-op, JW Lees, Hawkins\Brown, Buro Happold and Civic Engineers for their contributions to Festival Square.
