an invitation to listen with ark sheffield

 

Listen to and speak with another Sheffield community member in a specially recorded conversation at The Crucible, Sheffield Theatres.

 

Over the next few weeks a group of not for profit food organisations, artists, community organisers, and academics from Sheffield Hallam University are teaming up with Sheffield Theatres to create a unique show about climate change that features the voices of people from across the city. You are invited to contribute! 

 

Join us for a thirty-minute recorded conversation at The Crucible, where you and another community member will have the opportunity to explore the climate crisis in unique ways.

 

The team behind the wider project will draw on these recordings, and audio from other activities taking place across the city, as they create a special performance at the Crucible Theatre on 6th April. You are invited to assemble with us at the event, where you will hear sounds of the city, listen to diverse voices, and have the opportunity to be part of an urgent conversation about climate change in Sheffield and beyond.

Opportunities for participation will be shared with individuals at the other workshop events.

ark sheffield has been Initiated by Sheffield Hallam University Lecturers Dr Tom Payne (Humanities) and Dr Julia Udall (Natural and Built Environment) with Dr Alex De Little (Goldsmiths Centre for Sound Practice Research). The project is supported by Sheffield Theatres, as part of Together in the City festival (2022); with additional funding support from UK Research and Innovation and Sheffield Hallam University. ark sheffield is produced in partnership with Sheffield Hallam University, Goldsmiths University, GumboFM, Blend Kitchen, Heeley City Farm, Foodhall, Open Kitchen Social Club, The Wood Fired Pizza Company, SADACCA, Sheffield Museums, Sheffield City of Sanctuary, RESOLVE Collective, University of Leeds, and UK Research and Innovation. ark was conceived in 2015 by Tom Payne as part of his post-doctoral research for the Cymerau case study for the Arts and Humanities Research Council’s Towards Hydrocitizenship. It was developed in mid-Wales with support from National Theatre Wales’s Summer Camp (Broneirion, 2015) and Wales Lab (Aberystwyth, 2019). It has received additional funding from the Department of Humanities Research and Innovation Fund (2017 - present). With special thanks to those who supported and contributed to the earlier phases of development, including Simon Coates, Kully Thiarai, Lucy Wood, Jacob Gough, Sam Christie, Jenny Hall, Adrian Kear, and Rosie Strickland. The unique community engagement and performance methodology behind ark sheffield has been developed by Tom Payne, Julia Udall and Alex De Little at Sheffield Hallam University as part of the Economic and Social Research Council’s Festival of Social Science’s event, Amplifying Climate Dialogues (2021), and through collaborative working with the team, our community partners and Sheffield Theatres.
