Manchester Life
By Phoebe McSweeny and CAN

The film Manchester Life was made in partnership with CAN, Community Arts North West with artists Phoebe Mcsweeney, Godfrey Pambalipe, Michelle Odogu, George Jenkins 
And Basirat Ajanaku.

Phoebe is a Liverpool-based theatre maker, facilitator, and activist passionate about creativity and its importance to community empowerment and meaningful social change.
 
In the autumn of 2024, Phoebe worked with 35 CAN Young Artists aged 11 – 18. The project explored how young people with roots in Afghanistan, Kuwait, Syria, Pakistan, Libya, Kurdistan, Jordan, Tunisia, Iran, Turkey, Iraq, Georgia, Palestine, and Ghana had settled in Manchester and connected to the city. 
 
Audio recording producer Basirat Ajanaku recorded the voices of the group. The audio is featured in the powerful and celebratory short film. The film included visual art and music from the group, which they developed with musician and storyteller Godfrey Pambalipe. George Jenkins did the post-production on the film. The project was produced by Michelle Odogu, CAN’s Creative Producer for Children and Young People.

In ‘An Aspirational Dream’ we beautifully intertwine theatre, drama skills, and dynamic dance movements to create a vivid narrative that reflects the individuality of each student.

During the project, our focus was to showcase their unique experiences and future ambitions, allowing them to express themselves freely.
This approach not only highlights their personal journeys but emphasizes the importance of young people’s aspirations, encouraging them to always dream big and pursue their goals with confidence and creativity.

The film serves as a celebration of their talents and a powerful reminder that their dreams are achievable and possible.
