Ark Doncaster: The Storm-Gathering

Join us on Earth Day

Ark Doncaster is the culminating event of a city-wide creative programme of arts-led events - called the Storm-Cycle - developed in partnership with City of Doncaster Council, Cast, SINE FM, and collaborators across the borough, aligned with Doncaster’s emerging UNESCO Biosphere Reserve proposal.

The Storm-Gathering is a large public assembly that brings the borough-wide conversation into one room. It will share and amplify what emerged during the Storm-Cycle, combining live elements with an audio soundscape drawn from community conversations.

At the heart of the event will be listening and collective reflection, rather than performance in the conventional sense. A small number of participants may be invited to join a live circle at the centre of the space, continuing the conversation in public. Drawing together voices from across the Storm-Cycle, this welcoming public event asks: what form does the flood take here, how might we build our ark in response, what should we take with us, what should we leave behind? 

The Storm-Gathering will mark the culmination of the cycle and the handover into After the Storm, where learning is consolidated, documented and used to support the Biosphere proposal and follow-on work. 

Free to attend, with complimentary tea, coffee, juice and biscuits. 

BSL interpreted.
