MAKING ART A PART OF EVERYDAY LIFE

Creative Scene commissions and produces all kinds of arts and cultural activities in some unusual places, in and around the towns of Dewsbury & Batley.

We don’t run a venue or a gallery, instead you will find us putting on gigs and cabaret style theatre in pubs and social clubs, family- friendly shows in community spaces, spectacular events in town centres, parks and at festivals.

 Find out more here about what’s on, what we do, and how to get involved.

Making a scene blog

  • Nurturing a passion for the arts
    by Len Grant on 27th December 2017 at 11:52 am

    That’s it. After 101 stories from every corner of West Yorkshire and beyond, I’m finally bringing this Making a Scene blog to an end. For three years I’ve had the pleasure of documenting dozens of activities as the Creative Scene team encourages local people to bring the arts into their everyday lives. For me it […]

  • Sneak peek into the rehearsal room with Quarantine.  With over 2000 dances in their repertoire, no two performances of Wallflower are the same. Each performance features new material created live in the process of remembering...so technically you'll be watching a world premiere! This is an absolutely amazing show, but don’t just take our word for it, come see what you think! Saturday 9 March at Cleckheaton Town Hall. Link to tickets in our bio. 🎟 #backstage #wallflower #sneakpeek #preview #newwork #choreography #rehearsal #dance #quarantine #yorkshire
  • Can you remember every dance you’ve ever danced? Wallflower is a heart-warming performance for everyone who has ever danced – in their kitchen, at a party – especially for those who choose to watch from the side. It is a dance marathon; spanning a lifetime of music, fashion, politics, friendships, parties, love and loss. Join Quarantine at Cleckheaton Town Hall on Saturday 9 March as they share memories of dancing alone all night at a party; of whirling across the stage at the @balletoperadeparis; of silently, slowly revolving with a new lover on a canal boat at night. It’ll be an enchanting evening. Tickets: £10 / £8 conc.
