programme, they have been creating more opportunities for people in North
Kirklees to choose, create and take part in brilliant art experiences across the
Batley & Spen and Dewsbury areas.

A NEW STAR IN THE EUROPEAN CONSTELLATION: TANDEM REGIONS OF SOLIDARITY

We are proud to be the North of England hub for the new Tandem Regions project -
a constellation of changemakers in European neighbourhoods and regions,
connecting together for learning and exchange through collaborations and
placements.

Grown out of our participation in the Tandem project over the past 5 years, with
partners the European Cultural Foundation, we will be collaborating with Hubs in
Athens, Greece, Berlin, Germany, and Aveiro, Portugal, developing cultural
innovations to support communities and neighbourhoods that are often ‘left
behind’. We will be developing joint initiatives and bringing good practice to
the attention of European and regional decision makers, through international
‘light-house’ events.

ONE FINE DAY

A multi-media performance with 100 different groups and communities from across
Kirklees - each telling their stories of the last year, and looking forward to
the one fine day when they can all meet together. More info coming soon.

“In a small dark room, where I will wait
Face to face I find, I contemplate
Even though a man, is made of clay
Everything can change, that one fine
Then before my eyes is standing still
I beheld it there, a city on a hill
I complete my tasks one by one
I remove my masks when I am done”

David Byrne/ Brian Eno

UNION - IN THE HEART OF DEWSBURY

We know great creative places need creative spaces, and at Union, our new 3
storey base in the town centre, we will be running a wide programme of events
and activities as well as creating space for our vibrant and diverse communities
to make their own events and activities. Want fun creative things to do with all
the family, to set up a writer’s group, host a poetry event, find out about
local events, watch performances, find rehearsal or meeting space, develop your
arts career?

Union will be for YOU: come make it what you want. More info coming soon.

NANCY BARRETT

Nancy was born and grew up in Seacroft on the outskirts of Leeds. Of Irish
heritage, she was reeling and jigging from an early age. Nancy began her career
working as a community artist with Ordsall Community Arts in inner-city Salford,
before taking on roles in local authority arts and cultural development, and
leading the Arts Council’s flagship creative learning programme, Creative
Partnerships, across Greater Manchester. She joined Creative Scene as Director
in 2014. Away from her life on land, Nancy is the co-owner of a sailing boat and
loves to take to the open seas in her free time.


VICKY HOLLIDAY

Born and bred in Huddersfield, Vicky began putting on shows with her mates in
the school holidays and hasn’t stopped since. Beginning her career in
participation and outreach with Peshkar Productions, Theatre Centre and
artsdepot, Vicky returned to work in West Yorkshire when she joined Creative
Scene in 2014.

When she’s not creating new opportunities for people to see, hear and take part
in the arts, Vicky enjoys ballroom and Latin dancing and exploring the local
area on her bike.


SARA SHERWOOD

Sara returned to her hometown of Dewsbury in 2017 to complete her MA in Creative
Writing at the Manchester Writing School. After spending her 20s working in
London for The Corner Shop PR, Sara got stuck back into the community while
working at Batley Girls’ High School before joining Creative Scene in May 2019.
Away from the office, Sara enjoys rummaging around Yorkshire’s best charity
shops for vintage treasures and dusty books.


LISA SLATTERY

Lisa grew up in Manchester and moved to Wakefield to study Theatre and
Performance in 2005. Since then, she has worked and lived on both sides of the
Pennines; working for contemporary theatre greenroom and cultural research
agency Morris Hargreaves McIntyre in Manchester, before joining Creative Scene
as Administrator in 2014.


SIMON THIRKILL

Born and raised in Leeds, Simon moved to Dewsbury in his late teens. After
working in many different industries, including healthcare and owning a cafe in
Heckmondwike, Simon found his way into the arts.

When he's not making sure everything at Brigantia runs smoothly, Simon loves to
travel around the country to experience street art and graffiti and create his
own work and installations.
