Momentum

Momentum runs on alternate Fridays at Salisbury Playhouse, a creative workshop that puts video production equipment and control panels in the hands of the people taking part. It's a hands-on session rather than a lecture, so you're actually working with the gear rather than just watching someone else do it.

If the name sounds new, that's because it is. Momentum is the re-launched version of Mind the Gap, an intergenerational project that started more than a decade ago and brought people together through theatre arts. When the original project finished, the older members of the group didn't want to stop, so they kept going under this new name. The change came after a consultation with current and previous members, and the new direction was shaped by what they valued most: connection, creativity, and the chance to be curious in a safe environment where they feel valued and respected.

At its heart, it's a celebration of lifelong learning. One participant put it this way: 'Always moving forward: because we don't stop learning when we leave school and we don't stop being creative when we retire.' That's the spirit that carries through the sessions — the idea that you never really outgrow the desire to make things and figure out how they work.

It runs fortnightly on alternate Fridays at 10:30am, with each session lasting two hours. It's held at Salisbury Playhouse in Salisbury.
