Back to Live – A special season of children’s events in April 2022
In a unique collaboration, four independent Sussex seaside venues Komedia, Ropetackle, Brighton Open Air Theatre and The Old Market are working together to produce Back to Live, a special season of children’s events celebrating the return of live performance.
Back to Live brings together three groups that have been adversely impacted by the pandemic: Children who because of their age have never had the chance of experiencing live performance, while for others it is all but a distant memory; performers whose tours have been cancelled and their new work not shown; and venues who have lost key staff and now have a mountain to climb to win back audiences.
Quote from Colin Granger and Marina Kobler founding directors of Komedia:
“After two years of lockdowns, closures, and the terrible consequences of a pandemic, we feel there has never been a better time to celebrate live performance and all the joy that it can bring. We are therefore delighted to be working with the charity Kids at Komedia and our colleagues at the participating venues to take what we hope is a small step towards recovery.”
Back to Live dates: Easter school holidays: Sat 9 – Sun 17 April 2022
Venues: Komedia, Ropetackle, Brighton Open Air Theatre (BOAT), The Old Market (TOM)
Back to Live Programme to be announced in January 2022
