Making Connections

Making Connections is a monthly free drop in event for Swindon and Southwest creatives that offers a held space for arts professionals and community artists to be together. Each session will have a practical component (2-hour workshop led by a guest artist), which will be followed by a networking/informal meet facilitated by the Making Connections team. The Making Connections team are Adrienne Hart (Artistic Director, Neon Dance) and Sarah Ferris (Swindon based dance artist and teacher).

Making Connections was born from a desire for a space to improvise, be creative with others, to bring regional based creatives together for personal and professional development, to feel embedded within a community and to be inspired.

Confirmed guest facilitators include:

  • Yael Flexer
  • Helen Ganberg
  • Thomas Page
  • Marie Louise Flexen
  • Mark Powell (Prime Theatre)

Please note, we appreciate that it can be challenging to find a spare 3 hours each month and would therefore welcome anyone who can commit to the workshop but not the networking (or vice versa). Our intention is to work with and curate an offer for local creatives and we hope to grow and adapt this initiative with those who take part.

Making Connections will take place on the last Friday of the month 1.30pm – 4.30pm from September to November 2024 and January to March 2025.
