We’d like to say a huge thank you to everybody involved in Stronger Together on event on Wednesday 29 June.  This national conversation about collaboration, sharing and working in partnership was a joint venture between Northern Stage and Pilot Theatre, with support from Arts Council England.   Innovatively, three national venues – Cornerhouse, Manchester, Watershed in Bristol and Lyric Hammersmith – also live streamed the event to more delegates across the country.  Some of the best thinkers and leaders from the cultural sector and beyond shared their thoughts and provoked many more conversations all across the UK.

Here at Northern Stage we are so proud to have hosted such an inspiring event. Without such brave, honest and inspiring contributions the day wouldn’t have been so sucessful.  From the contributors, the satellite venues, everybody in our building to everybody following online – thank you, you were all brilliant and we couldn’t have done it without you.
