Works in Progress: Common Ground
Craft and connect with other young creatives, and think about the gifts you can share with a creative community, in this event shaped by and for young people.
Along with Boundless Theatre and TCMO Collective, we’re serving up fresh new talent, creative workshops and opportunities to connect with fellow young creatives.
In this event we explore our common ground through the lens of the gifts we can share. Join our creative community and take part in three drop-in activities facilitated by The Badge Cafe, artist Lateshia Howell and Boundless Theatre, with vibes created by DJ Heavadny.
Badge Cafe offers ‘crafty utopian hangouts’ – spaces where people can relax, create and connect by reusing old books and magazines to make unique badges. It’s welcoming, easy and fun, with low stakes and no expectations. Swing by for five minutes or settle in for hours. Everything is provided. You might surprise yourself.
The Collective Members Only (TCMO) is a youth-led creative collective redefining networking for 18 – 30-year-old multidisciplinary artists. By blending nightlife energy with professional opportunities, they create immersive events – from film screenings to DJ sets – where emerging creatives connect, collaborate, and thrive.
Boundless Theatre cultivates space for young creatives, creates work with 15 – 25-year-olds and accelerates the careers of young people in the arts. From their home in Croydon, they work to connect local young people to creative practice across the UK, Europe and the world.
Works in Progress is a collaboration between the Southbank Centre, Boundless Theatre and TCMO Collective.
