AMPLIFY
Join AMPLIFY. Perform in HOME!
Southpaw Company is inviting people from across Sunderland to take part in HOME — a large-scale performance opening Culture House in 2026.
We’re looking for local people to join AMPLIFY, Southpaw’s community performance programme, and become part of a bold, immersive production featuring live performance, digital visuals, and powerful storytelling.
You don’t need to be a professional performer.
You do need curiosity, commitment, and a willingness to be part of something special.
What is HOME?
HOME is a city-wide celebration performed to launch Culture House. It brings together movement, music, projection, and digital technology to tell a story about Sunderland: who we are, where we’ve come from, and what we might become.
Up to 100 local participants will perform alongside Southpaw’s professional dancers — live on the building, in its windows, and within immersive digital scenes.
Who can take part?
We’re looking for people aged 16+ from Sunderland and the surrounding area. You might be:
New to performance
Returning after time away
From dance, sport, music, or no creative background at all
All bodies, identities, and experiences are welcome.
