Norwich is a creative city and diverse with its arts scene of all kinds, however we seem to have fewer and fewer venues that’s this can be celebrated in. This would but an unused space to great use and benefit not only artists but the community.
Stuart supported: Show support of independent cultural arts space, Alma, in NorwichThis is the only theatre in the area and it not only serves the local community but also visitors to the Causeway coast and Glens
Margaret supported: Stop the Closure of the Riverside Theatre: Act nowThe Riverside Theatre serviced The North Antrim Coast, where do we go? Londonderry or Belfast, why are we being denied and also our children and grandchildren denied the opportunity of live performances and a Theatre experience.
Alice supported: Stop the Closure of the Riverside Theatre: Act nowTheatres are so important for community. I've not lived here long but have already enjoyed the Riverside theatre. There aren't any others nearby so I feel emeverything that can be done to keep it open, should be.
sharon supported: Stop the Closure of the Riverside Theatre: Act nowI grew up going to this theatre and owe my professional life to it. I imagine my childhood and young adulthood without spaces like the riverside and it feels featureless. What pride I have in the north coast is entirely rooted in the Riverside, in Flowerfield, in the public artworks, in shared green spaces and beaches and river walks. This loss is wanton, aimless destruction and is exactly the sort of petty penny-saving act that only serves to hasten the fracturing of communities.
Michael supported: Stop the Closure of the Riverside Theatre: Act nowIt was the outstanding reputation and commitment of the Architecture at the University of Plymouth, especially the guidance and international perspective of my supervisors that inspired me to choose Plymouth for my doctoral studies. Their mentorship has been the foundation of my academic here. If they are forced to leave, I honestly do not know how I would continue or where I would turn. The loss of such dedicated and experienced supervisors would not only jeopardize my own research progress but also shake the very reason I came to this university.
Shuo supported: Stop the cuts to Arts, Design & Architecture courses at University of PlymouthMy daughter's dream was to live and study abroad, and she chose Plymouth for her arts degree and found a place there. How can she finish her degree if the courses she needs don't exist anymore?! Do you know what a hardship it is for international students to get there in the first place, and now she may have to switch schools? The world needs art and artists more than ever now.
Tara supported: Stop the cuts to Arts, Design & Architecture courses at University of PlymouthI got to know many members of staff in the arts when I was a postdoc in social sciences at Plymouth. I was horrified to learn of the planned programme closures. One of Plymouth’s greatest assets as a city is its concentration of artists and performers. Staff in the arts at the University of Plymouth are a huge part of what makes the Plymouth special, bringing vitality to a place that has a lot of economic and social challenges. Plymouth University staff are at the core of the city's LGBT programming and its independent theatre scene, and a University of Plymouth staff member was recently the city's poet laureate. Redundancies and closed arts programmes are a disaster for both staff, whose lives are being turned upside-down, and for the students who come to the University of Plymouth for its excellent arts education. But it’s no understatement to say that this is also a disaster for Plymouth as a whole, not only because of the economic effects of job losses and reduced student numbers, but also because of losing a cultural anchor that contributes so much to the life of the city.
Sam supported: Stop the cuts to Arts, Design & Architecture courses at University of PlymouthThe arts scene in Plymouth has grown significantly during the past decade, and UoP has contributed to this explosion of culture through its various courses.
Doing away with these course - and disinvesting from the arts having spent so much money not only on course, but on facilities such as The House and Levinsky Gallery - is a false economy and is extremely short-sighted.
Dan supported: Stop the cuts to Arts, Design & Architecture courses at University of PlymouthYou’re not alone — a community of supporters is ready to back you.
