In Our Times 2019: Celebrating 15 Years of Collective Encounters

In 2019 Collective Encounters is 15! To mark this we are hosting a special celebration event, In Our Times. 

In Our Times will showcase the recent work of Collective Encounters, reflect on past achievements and reveal our exciting plans for the future. We are excited to celebrate this milestone at a time when Collective Encounters is moving into a new chapter whilst continuing to strive towards its mission of using theatre as a tool for social change.

For one night only we will be taking over The Eclipse Theatre, at Liverpool’s new Hinterlands venue in the Baltic Triangle. In Our Times will include extracts from Wealth is Health (performed by the Third Age Acting Company), Cracked (performed by Other Theatres), a new piece exploring the theme of home and what it means to young people in the 21st Century (performed by CE:YT) and some short radical theatre moments.

Doors will open at 7pm. The performance will begin at 7:30pm, and run for 1.5 hours with an interval. There will be happenings, music and dancing throughout the evening.

The evening will be opened by Simon Mellor, Deputy Chief Executive, Arts and Culture, Arts Council England.

Light refreshments will be available during the event.
