Looking back at the opening of: YSJ Spark Community Theatre

Here in the School of Performance and Media Production we have a reputation for creating and sustaining creative partnerships throughout York and the wider community.

This semester saw the launch of our latest venture; a unique community theatre at Spark:York homed in three recycled shipping containers. The YSJ Spark Community Theatre space gives pre-existing creative partnerships a new home, whilst providing the scope to create and nurture new projects.

Our new home for inclusive Art and Culture
