HUSH 2024

At Chelsea Theatre we feel that every story has value, and that everyone has a right to be heard. Often, we hear from members of our communities that they feel unheard and without a voice. The Chelsea Theatre’s creative strategy, combining our dual roles as a community and arts hub, is as a storytelling venue for unheard and denied voices. To launch this strategy, we are having our first annual festival of storytelling; HUSH Festival.

HUSH is a week-long celebration of these stories and storytellers exploring three open questions:

SHARING – How do we create an environment that encourages citizens to share stories that have not yet been heard?

SHAPING – How do we structure a relationship between these storytellers and creative professionals that is truly collaborative and produces high quality cultural output.

SHOWING – How do we ensure that these stories reach those that most need to hear them?

Please join us from the 14th – 20th of June for 7 days of drama, dance, poetry, exhibitions, talks and interactive storytelling installations. Help us create a space that champions local people and celebrates their stories.
