We couldn't be happier to tell you that our founder Nell Hardy has been brought in as this year’s Creative Producer for Old Diorama Arts Centre's One Roof, working alongside Programme Manager Claire Rivers.
Following the third annual iteration of the two-week January festival in January 2025, One Roof is about to start its first ever year-round programme, with weekly sessions in visual, creative writing and performance arts for artists with lived experience of homelessness.
This year of the project has been titled Laying Foundations, as the work done and learning from this year will determine the direction of the programme and identity of the festival for the years to come. We know that trauma consciousness has to be built solidly into a programme’s principles to be effective, and that is best done by embedding them right from the beginning. Old Diorama Arts Centre has been and continues to be one of RAT’s most committed supporters, so it gives us immense pride to be able to collaborate with them on setting trauma consciousness into this thrilling expansion of their arts and homelessness work.
