The polymath idea
Go deep. Reach across.
We encourage young people to develop real depth in a practice — and to discover what happens when it meets other ways of making.
In practice · City That Shape Us
A delivered summer programme showing how learning grows through making and sharing work with others.

A place where people develop their creative practice while exploring connections between disciplines. This is our long-term ambition — today our work centres on programmes for young people.
Learning through creative projects
City That Shape Us
A summer programme delivered by Innovatoire with Arts Council support, bringing young people together through studio work, songwriting, instrument practice and performance.
Developing a creative practice does not happen in isolation. Participants worked on musical ideas, shaped original material, developed their playing and shared work live with others.
