Momentum

Momentum returns to Salisbury Playhouse on Friday 8 January, running on alternate Fridays until 19 March. It's a series of workshops, talks and projects that open up how theatre is made, and it's back under a new name — it used to be called Mind The Gap.

Each session is led by professional artists and practitioners working across a range of art forms, and the programme is pitched as a way to gain insight into the world of Salisbury Playhouse, try something new and meet new people. The sessions run fortnightly, and they've grown to two hours each, with a new finish time of 12.30pm. You can drop in to individual sessions or book all eight and get one free.

One regular described it as 'always moving forward: because we don't stop learning when we leave school and we don't stop being creative when we retire'. It's that kind of thing — a place to keep playing and picking up new things, whether you've spent your life in the arts or you're just starting out. The professional artists leading the sessions bring their own practice into the room, so you're working with people who actually do this for a living.

It kicks off on Friday 8 January at 10.30am, and then continues every other Friday morning through to 19 March. Each session runs for two hours, finishing at 12.30pm, so you're in and out by lunchtime. You can pick and choose the ones that interest you, or book the full run of eight and get the ninth one free.
