If you’re feeling collaborative there’s the multi-user film and art app Fevered Sleep to have a go at, or dance installation Danceroom Spectroscopy.

It’s also an opportunity to get down to the Curve gallery where you can experience United Visual Artists’ Momentum installation

A programme of workshops is being put together under the title We Create, with music, art, dance and film events aimed at all ages.
