A major new 6 day festival, accompanying the official re-opening of Rochdale Town Hall.
A showcase of creativity, innovation and performance around the themes of imagine, create, and discover.
Taking inspiration from the borough’s rich heritage whilst remaining focused on the future there will be a blend of hands-on and digital programming.
The Rochdale Borough Festival of Ideas line-up includes visual arts, music, electrifying live performances, interactive installations and lots more as originality and imagination are celebrated.
Fluid Motion Theatre will be presenting their performance installation in 4 locations across the borough. ‘Take Ten’ invites you to relax and take a moment on colourful swing chairs, guided by a soundtrack that encourages you to sit comfortably, swing gently and breathe deeply. The ground-breaking artistic performance is created in collaboration with Lorna Rees of Gobbledegook Theatre, around the idea of mental wellbeing, underpinned by the ‘5 steps to mental wellbeing.’
