OUR FUTURE STARTS HERE – Edition Four – Autumn events
21st October 2023 @ 11:00 am - 27th October 2023 @ 5:00 pm
Successfully launched in 2022 and attracting more than 40,000 audiences across three programmes of events, Our Future Starts Here aims to explore issues of our time, enable new cultural experiences for North East Lincolnshire residents and highlight Grimsby’s place in the world now.
For this new edition for Autumn, we’re pleased to be partnering with Projekt Renewables to present future-facing, thought-provoking, quality and fun performances for all ages around Alexandra Dock. This national touring work from leading outdoor arts companies is coupled with creative participation opportunities, panel talks, ‘green learning’ and children’s activities on sustainability themes.
SATURDAY 21 OCTOBER 11AM - 4PM ALEXANDRA DOCK, GRIMSBY DN31 1SY
JOIN US on Saturday 21st October at Alexandra Dock in Grimsby for the launch of OUR FUTURE STARTS HERE – GRIMSBY – 21-27 OCTOBER 2023 
FRIDAY 27 OCTOBER 11AM - 4PM ALEXANDRA DOCK, GRIMSBY DN31 1SY
On Friday 27 October, come and see TOAST by Pif-Paf. A company formed out of sustainability campaigning, with a clear aim to bring wonder and change to people’s lives where they live, work and play, Pif Paf believes that an empowered community is the key to any positive and sustainable change. Their works are playful and dramatic explorations of the big themes around sustainability.
TOAST takes audiences on a journey through the seasons, through story-telling, music, food and dances. In each of the four seasons the performances explore a different aspect of the things we do together. The show looks at our closeness to the land and seasons through celebration, inspiration and preparation, rather than a telling of the struggles to come.
As a show, Toast is made largely from reused materials and is battery powered and the food is responsibly sourced.
Culture House Director, Charlotte Bowen, said: “Our Future Starts Here aims to raise awareness of the need for sustainable futures and what we might collectively start to do to achieve this.
“We know we need to start looking after the planet and each-other and we also want to get across that creativity plays a role in problem-solving, in regenerating the places we live and in designing the kind of future we truly want”
“In addition to this we want residents to understand that Grimsby’s green industries are at the forefront of global developments when it comes to sustainable solutions for the planet”.
Our Future Starts here is supported by locally-based and globally trail-blazing eco-smart technology company myenergi.
Let’s look after the planet & each-other!
