MAKING ROOM

Making Room is a co-created project working across theatre, sound and visual practice to explore how people move through and shape the places they live.

Developed through workshops in St. Clair Superior (Ward 8), Cleveland, the project gathers stories, images and voices, building from lived experience into shared creative forms. Writing, street essays, visual making and sound come together as a live, participatory environment for IngenuityFest. A core group of stewards supports the work throughout, helping shape and carry it into its public moment.
