Seasonal

Collective effervescence: the intense energy, unity, and shared emotional buzz that a group of people feels when they come together to participate in a common action or ritual.

When a community or crowd synchronises through shared emotion, individuals step outside their personal, everyday preoccupations and feel connected to something much larger than themselves creating sensations of awe, belonging, and emotional resonance and resilience.

Increasingly we are creating new seasonal events that celebrate the local communities of our venues, often highlighting issues of lifestyle and the environment in challenging times through a celebratory lens, using the arts as a means to understand better ways to live and support one another into the future.
