About The Now Northwich Young Producers
The Young Producers are a group of 14-21 year olds from the local area who are interested in the arts and connecting with the community. An initiative from Cheshire Dance, the programme provides young people with a unique, free opportunity to get real, hand-on experience working behind the scenes in the arts industry.
For the Now Northwich festival, the Young Producers work with the Cheshire Dance team to ensure 'youth voice' is embedded across the event. They help us to understand what our younger audience at Now Northwich expects - and helps us to achieve it.
For 2024 the Young Producers have designed 'Connecting Routes' with families in mind, giving visitors a participatory experience to help them immerse themselves further into all that the festival has to offer.
