Community Arts North West (CAN) produces high-quality arts projects across Greater Manchester with socially excluded groups. It works primarily with young people, culturally diverse communities, refugees and asylum-seekers, and disabled people. We fund the organisation in this core work and to develop partnerships with other arts and non-arts organisations and venues to provide high-quality arts projects, opportunities and joint-planned initiatives in the region.

Surrender your life and possessions at the door? Escape into this utopia or dystopia? Uncertainty abounds, excitement or anxiety, you cannot choose, you can only Re:scape!
Re:scape invites you into the digital world. No longer will you have the safety of the screen, protection of the personal computer, you will be confronted by this new social phenomenon, the thrills and excitement, the fear and trepidation. It is a performance spanning all artistic mediums, from dance & drama, to MCing & music. The writing comes from the generation born into the digital world, those who can speak the language of the cyber world.

On Thu 6 -- Sat 8 Dec 2007, Community Arts North West in conjunction with Zion Arts presented "Inside The Lines".
An all consuming physical and visual experience, fusing dance, theatre & digital arts with an original music score.
Every day the same faces, same time, same places...
Eric sees things differently than other people
Eva has big dreams to break a cycle that traps all those around her
Sara connects to a past she's never known
Nayim clings on to a disappearing hope
Inside The Lines was the climax of a 6-month creative process delivered by Community Arts North West bringing together culturally diverse young people, artists, volunteers and youth workers from across Greater Manchester to present a dynamic and original hip-hop theatre production.
Part of the 2nd year of the Urban Music Theatre Programme, the story was told with the true voices of Manchester's young people: diverse, passionate and direct.
Set in the Cameroon, Down with the Dictator is a timely piece exploring themes of power, political corruption and censorship in all its absurdity
It reminds us of the consequences to humanity and the reasons why many people all over the world are forced to flee from oppressive regimes.
The play was recently selected to perform as part of the prestigious COAST International Festival of Community Theatre in Bristol.
Down with the Dictator was written by Cameroonian playwright and community activist, Lydia Besong.
Lydia and her husband Bernard Batey live in Bury and are fighting a high profile campaign to remain in the UK.
The play is produced by Afrocats and is supported by Community Arts North West as part of their Exodus Greater Manchester Refugee Arts programme.

Can a woman hold up a building? Can there be two versions of me? Is there really such a thing as a happy ending? Is Manchester the city of love or the herald of the apocalypse? These questions and more will be answered through the medium of film.
Four workshops in 2 days are all that's needed for a group of people from all over the world to embark on an intensive, four-day film-making fest.
Community Arts North West and AlbinoMosquito present a screening of short films from new and seasoned film makers whose backgrounds include France, Nigeria, England, Mauritius, Portugal, Congo, Libya, Iran, Mozambique, Spain, Burma and Scotland.
