Northern Girls

Pilot and ARCADE created Northern Girls for audiences to experience stories from Northern Girls by firelight in a special outdoor setting in Scarborough. Presented as part of the Signal Fires Festival.

In collaboration with ARCADE, Pilot is setting free the stories of girls and women who live along the North East coastline, encouraging them to write and present tales that matter most to them in 2020.

The performances will feature short pieces from Asma Elbadawi, Zoe Cooper, Maureen Lennon, Charley Miles all commissioned especially for this event, as well as work created with spoken word artist Hannah Davies and a group of young women from Scarborough, to create a magical celebration of northern women’s voices. A predominantly female creative team, comprised of theatre artists from the area will come together to direct and stage the work as fire-lit presentations in Scarborough.

First performed Tue 27 – Wed 28th October 2020 at YMCA Scarborough.
