Trestle Taking Part

Trestle is working with all ages on its new community project Out of Sight, Out of Mind?, a site specific promenade performance exploring the history and memories of Hill End Hospital, a mental health institution that operated for nearly 100 years on the site where Trestle now has its home. Anna Crompton, Trestle’s Taking part Co-ordinator writes…

Trestle has been working on integrating its regular participation groups with the wider programme and this is the first time when community performers from 2 to 60 years old will work on ideas inspired by the project.

Associate Director, Oliver Jones says “We are looking at the heritage of the hospital, and the stories of the patients and the staff. This is a very exciting project that is relevant and fascinating to all ages.” Continues>>
