Common Ground

An evening of creativity, connection and conversation with award winning independent theatre company Divided Culture Co. Join Divided Culture Co. as we unveil The Common Stage - our vision for the next five years - and share our ambitions for 2027 and beyond. Who are Divided Culture Co.? We are an award-winning independent theatre company based in Manchester, making bold, contemporary work that places Northern working class artists and audiences at its heart. Founded in 2021, we develop and produce ambitious, accessible new theatre rooted in the places and communities we work in. We create original work spanning theatre, arts and multi-discplinary performance. From Natalie Beech’s debut dark feminist comedy Bears Bears Bears to international collaborations with Catalan performance duo montdedutor, we’re passionate about bringing artists, artforms and audiences together. Bringing together artists, venues, funders, sponsors and future partners, this networking evening is an opportunity to connect, share ideas and explore how we can bring this vision to life together. Join us for an evening of conversation, entertainment and light refreshments as we celebrate what’s next and the people who can help make it happen.
