The Crossing Borders event will be hosted by staff from the Department of Music, Media and Performance and wider University on Thursday June 23, at the Storyhouse cultural hub in Chester.
Workshops, discussions and sharing of practice will address ideas, goals and desires to find where these intersect and could offer potential for new collaborations.
Associate Professor Ben Broughton, Head of Department for Music, Media and Performance said: “Crossing Borders will bring together individuals, companies and groups from arts and culture, health and social care, welfare, education and recreation in the region.
“Our vision, as a Department, is to increase opportunities for everyone to enjoy the arts and make positive changes to people’s lives through art. Finding these crossings or ‘touch points’ between people, ideas, sectors and places is what is key about the day, enabling new conversations and potential for new partnerships, to benefit more people across communities.”
The event runs from 12.15pm to 8.15pm in Storyhouse’s Garret Theatre.
