Tees-wide cultural workshops support people referred in from mental health service, social workers, dementia support, carers etc. Every cultural session leads to bigger co-produced community events. Arts workshops improve wellbeing, supporting people to get involved in wider community/cultural events helps tackle social isolation and loneliness. Our work includes taking people from our groups to the moon (Festival of Thrift) and recreating the Tees Viking invasion (Stockton International Riverside Festival). Our Toolkit helps replicate working methodology, exploring ways to increase trading income through training and mentoring. During Covid-19 we have continued to support people through online creativity workshops and through involvement in ‘virtual’ and scaled back community and arts festivals. Teesside Rising is an interview project funded by The Arts Council England comprising a team of 8 interviewers and 230 interviewees involved in the creative arts in Teesside and the Tees area. The interviews narrate a personal and collective journey through the creative arts, and form an important historical record of the negative and positive effects of lockdown, individually and as an arts community. Together we reflect personally, locally, globally, and from standpoints spanning the contemporary to the dawn of human consciousness. Interviews were conducted between 23 July 2020 and 23 January 2021.
