Salisbury Arts Centre promotes an eclectic programme of performance, exhibitions and educational and community activity. Re-opened after extensive refurbishment in 2006, the building and programme provide an important community resource for Salisbury.
Salisbury Arts Centre teamed up with Wessex Archaeology and the army for a special filmmaking project that documented a significant archaeological dig on Salisbury Plain over the summer of 2012.
Young people from Salisbury and the surrounding area were given professional training to become a documentary film crew recording the entire process of the excavations and interviewing the key people involved.
The project, nicknamed 'Project Florence' to match up with the army's excavation codename of 'Operation Nightingale', was funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and resulted in this 25 minute film.

A savagely beautiful dance theatre production from the company behind the critically acclaimed Love and War and Sea of Bones.
Merging ancient themes and contemporary life, Mark Bruce creates a surreal world where a prairie girl dreams of other lives and a chain-gang dances on the edge of an inferno.
With music ranging from Debussy and Leadbelly to Queens of the Stone Age, this dark and sometimes comic piece interrogates the very idea of heaven.
The performance will be accompanied by a post-show chat with Arts Centre staff and members of the company, giving you the chance to find out more about the company and the process behind their work.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN MUSIC BECOMES INSPIRATION FOR PIECES OF ART, THE ART BECOMES INSPIRATION FOR MOVEMENT, AND THE MOVEMENT IS PERFORMED TO THE MUSIC?
JIGSAW EXPERIMENTED WITH DRAWING WHILST LISTENING TO AND BEING INSPIRED BY MUSIC. THESE DRAWINGS WHERE THEN USED AS INSPIRATION FOR THEIR CHOREOGRAPHY, WHICH WAS THEN PERFORMED TO THE MUSIC. THE RESULT HAS LED TO AN ECLECTIC AND EXCITING CONCEPT THAT HAS CHALLENGED AND INSPIRED THE COMPANY. THE DANCERS INTERACT WITH THEIR OWN DRAWINGS THAT ARE BEING DISPLAYED BEHIND THEM IN A PROJECTION AS THEY DANCE ON STAGE.
