Placing creativity at the heart of where you live
Join a network of volunteers across Northants
Northants Touring Arts (NTA) is a rural touring scheme for the county managed by the regions touring theatre company New Perspectives. In collaboration with a network of volunteers, NTA presents a high quality theatre, event and participatory programme in village halls, schools, community centres, churches – bringing great arts and unmissable cultural events to your doorstep.
By bringing performances and creativity into the heart of your community means we bring people together to experience affordable high quality performances and community events without the audience having to travel long distances. Teaming up with NTA means that you are guaranteed a high quality performance and have the opportunity generate local funds by providing refreshments and an interval raffl e. NTA’s programme takes place in small and intimate spaces to larger halls with audiences between 50 – 100 people. As a volunteer promoter you will provide a fantastic opportunity for smaller scale professional companies and artists to be able to tour their work to your neighbourhood. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic our live programme is currently on hold, but will be starting up again in Spring 2021. If you are interested in fi nding out more please contact sally@ newperspectives.co.uk.
Whilst NTA’s live performance programme is on hold NTA invites you to take part in two fantastic projects:
Capture the sounds and spirit of the countryside
NTA has joined forces with a selection of rural touring schemes across the county to capture an aural and visual mosaic of the diversity and unity of the rural lives we lead. We want the sounds of Northamptonshire to feature and invite you to capture a 20-second sound and image of your community depicting the Northants countryside plus an audio fi le “greeting” or a few lines of poetry from your perspective that sums up the character and spirit of where you live. Then head to www.northantstouringarts.co.uk for details of how to submit your recording. To be included your recording must be received by Saturday 12th September 2020.
Your clip will then be combined and edited along with submissions from the Lake District to Cornwall to produce a Symphony of the Countryside, with the fi nal piece mastered in Cornwall and shared by Vimeo later this autumn.
