Songlines group’s ‘Exchange Square’
The happy faces of our Songlines group, drawn from a project with the Royal Exchange Theatre last year, who performed a new piece as part of the Bridgewater Hall’s Tram Tracks project. The project involved multiple music groups writing new songs about each of the Metrolink tram stops (of which there are 93!) to celebrate both the Bridgewater Hall and Transport for Greater Manchester’s anniversaries.

The pupils worked with a Camerata composer, theatre maker and musician to write a new theatre piece which was performed for their peers and families. It spoke of multiple aspects of the holocaust, including persecution of different races and their hopes to promote peace and unity within the school.
