It's now just a week before a brand new three-day outdoor arts experience - Bridge - is premiered in Grantham.

At the centre of the project is, in engineering terms, an almost impossible broken bridge structure with a gap where the keystone would be.

Bridge will appear in Grantham Market Place and, for three days from Thursday, 12 to Saturday, 14 September, will be the venue for pop-up events and happenings and the setting for an extraordinary outdoor performance.

Bridge is produced by Coventry-based Imagineer Productions and created by artistic director Orit Azaz in collaboration with a creative team that includes choreographer Corey Baker, designer Dan Potra, writer Nick Walker, composer Peter Reynolds and circus director Paul Evans.

Visit the Bridge by day and enjoy a series of free events and experiences Under the Bridge as Grantham's artistic and community groups respond to the 'bridge' theme.

Look out for:

An Experience in Two Parts: Take a pair of headphones and find out the meaning of the broken bridge. As with every good story, there are two sides to listen to –choose to experience either or both. Each part of the experience lasts for ten minutes, with multiple sessions throughout the day.

Bridge Stories podcast: Sit in front of the bridge, watch the world go by and listen to a 10minute podcast collection of stories from people in Grantham, Coventry and Worcester about bridge-building and bridge-burning recorded especially for Bridge.

Grantham Arts Trail – Making Art Accessible to All: Grantham's new Arts Trail make art accessible to those who wouldn't normally visit an exhibition space. The aim is to inspire people to get creative and show that art doesn't just happen behind closed doors in exclusive spaces – it's for everyone. The Grantham Arts Trail launches during Bridge.

Hidden Story Portraits – Bridging the Difference: Grantham photographer Emilie Nunn has taken a series of portraits of local people who are part of Bridge. She combines her images with text to tell their stories and show what unites a seemingly disparate group of people. These portraits will be exhibited around the town centre during the Bridge weekend.

The area 'Under the Bridge' will become a stage for local groups, schools, theatre companies including Grantham Dramatic Society, Grantham Capoeira, St Wulfram's Church, Grantham Gymnastics, local DJs and many others to share their skills.

On the Saturday evening there will be a spectacular performance in Market Place.

Gravity-defying circus acrobatics, dance, comedy, theatre and live music, inspired by local people's stories, create a thrilling and moving montage of the courage, compassion and humour needed to bridge a divide.

The free performance is inspired by stories of bridge building gathered in Grantham.

Michael Cross, Head of Arts at InvestSK, said: "I am delighted to welcome Bridge and Imagineer Productions to Grantham.

"To host this first-class piece of outdoor arts in South Kesteven for its premiere performance is very special.

"Through Grantham's enormously successful Gravity Fields Festival, the town has developed a fantastic appreciation of engaging with the arts in a variety of outdoor settings.

"Grantham's Market Place provides the perfect backdrop for Bridge and I hope local residents and visitors from further afield enjoy the packed programme of performances and experiences during this free three-day event, as well as the spectacular finale on Saturday evening."
