Layers is a new creative programme for 11–16-year-olds, developed by Theatre in Flow and Touchstones Rochdale. Co-designed with local young people, Layers offers a safe, inclusive space to explore dance, drama, film, storytelling, music, costume and writing.
At its heart is a simple belief: every young person is creative. Layers helps young people build confidence, develop communication skills, improve wellbeing and make meaningful connections with others.
The programme also celebrates Rochdale’s rich heritage. Through Touchstones’ collections and exhibitions, young people will explore local stories, learn about the borough’s past and create new work inspired by their own experiences and community.
Launching with a pilot in Rochdale, Layers will bring high‑quality, affordable creative opportunities led by supportive artists.
More details coming soon. Session times, sign‑up information and full programme details will be shared in April 2026.
