Hantu and Aalfy are two local social organisations that have given unemployed people in the City the chance to learn how to use a laser cutter to make a product and then try to test its viability by selling it in a pop up shop in The Winter Gardens.
Sheffield artists are taking part in an international exchange trip with artists from Slovakia. They will be exploring the theme of creating work in a new and unknown environment.
A pop up shop on The Moor is celebrating the people of Sheffield and their stories. You can walk in to the cafe and get a free cuppa in exchange for telling a story or two. The Bare Project is a local theatre company which has temporarily taken over the old Woolworths on The Moor. They are collecting the stories and memories of people, who go in to the cafe, in exchange for a cuppa. Some of the stories will be turned in to a performance by local playwrights while others will be put in to an archive.
People are being given the chance to put images that they have created from their favourite books on to a story telling cloak. The cloak is worn by Genevieve who was created by Jean Compton a local community artisit.
Jenny Newton reports for Sheffield Live!
Sheffield Live! Joined thousands of people in Millhouses Park for the EID Festival in the Park.
The cross cultural event celebrates the end of the month long festival of Ramadan, when millions of Muslims around the world go on a month long fast in which they do not eat or drink during daylight hours. MC Nige compared the main stage, with other entertainment including fun fair rides and stalls.
Sheffield Live! had its own stall with presenter Jawwad Janjua headlining both days, providing entertainment for those at the event and interviewing people who were attending the festival, including the Lord Mayor of Sheffield, Peter Rippon and Local MP Paul Bloomfield. Jawwad was joined by fellow Sheffield Live! presenters Jawaid Qazi, Shafaqat Mohammed and Wajdi Raweh.
Chatsworth House hosts series of short stories read by world famous actors
Word Theatre will be presenting performances of short stories, read by some of the most famous actors of our time, in the stunning surroundings of Chatsworth House this Saturday 5th July, from 6pm to 9pm.
Performances will include:
The evening has been directed by Kirsty Peart and Cedering Fox – one of the most recognised voices on American television and the “Voice of the Oscars.”
“Imagine entering buildings and spaces you didn’t know existed, finding performers, art installations and activities around every corner and experiencing Sheffield in a completely different way.
“The city centre will be animated, lit up and celebrated through our city’s artists and performers for one night only to invite you to see Sheffield in a different light.”
As part of Summer Saturdays Art in the Park are running Light Night on Saturday 7th September 2013 in Sheffield City centre from 4pm- 9.30pm.
Light Night will be a city wide takeover opening up spaces, inviting professional and emerging artists to showcase the spaces through various artforms; an open programme of activities, showcases, workshops, exhibitions and performances for people to explore the city in a way they haven’t before.
“We want to unlock the doors of spaces we don’t ordinarily get to see, animate places in a completely new way and celebrate what Sheffield has to offer for all ages. Maybe it’s a film screening in a high street chain, a comedy sketch in the market, dancing in a hotel lobby….we want to challenge our perceptions and engage with new people in new spaces providing an alternative way to spend your Saturday Night!”

Well, we did it! On Saturday the 30th of October, as part of the ‘Off the Shelf’ festival, the ‘Cornucopia Radio Show’ was broadcast live from the Sheffield Winter Gardens, for 6 hours between 11am and 5pm.
The day featured poets, storytellers, comedians, performers, actors, musicians, singers and local amateur dramatic groups. Yes, it was a little chaotic (let there be no doubt about that!) but it was also pretty amazing, because amazing is the thing we do best!
