Since October 22, artists from Ukraine and Tynedale have been meeting and  talking, improvising and interacting through various media to find ways to work together.  Seeds of Hope is the outcome of that collaboration.   Last year in 2024, we performed outdoors at Ladycross Quarry, mounted an exhibition of Ukrainian and Tynedale artists at the Queens Hall,  ran a Film Making week for local teenagers and created a multi-disciplinary performance specifically for Hexham Abbey. Here's some feedback from our Arrival production in the Abbey:

'So glad I came; very ‘affecting’ beautiful singing and effective performance, stunning imagery…soo good."

"Totally overwhelming. Inexplicable and so memorable"

"So atmospheric. Wonderful acoustics for the haunting beautiful music"

"Very rich powerful imagery, full sound(ing) tapestry, timeless"

"Love the new collective poem, the circles, the humour, all sitting on each other’s knees ending, and of course the singing. Very moving."

"Eerie but moving"

 Forces of history have brought us together to find common ground, to find a sense of collective agency, seeking a unique voice here in this corner of Tynedale - holding important values: unity, common humanity, a sense of place and belonging.

Future plans  include making a book commemorating the larger project and planning future performances with the Seeds of Hope group.

Delve into the highly deductive mind of a super sleuth in this new production of one of the most popular Sherlock Holmes stories. 

TSF recently toured this wonderful performance to Tenerife, visiting theatres in El Sauzal , Adeje, and Santa Cruz. Performed with Spanish subtitles this highly attended show went down a storm. We played both to a host of Spanish secondary school children and  multi lingual audiences around the island.

"It was very enjoyable, I could hear every word. It was a good mix of mime, movement, music, dance and history, linking all the stories together. And the history of the library service was so interesting. (93 year old)" Bellingham
