Sweat Tears and the Sea (Working Title)
Polite Rebellion carried out two residencies in summer 2025 to begin research for a new project. The first as part of Lancaster Arts Land Programme at Lancaster University and the second as part of Stage@Leeds Playspace Residency supported by The Cultural Institute at University of Leeds. You can read the blog Ellie wrote about Land Residency here.
Sweat, Tears and the Sea (Working Title) is a disabled led project by award winning artist Ellie Harrison. This project is in the development stage and are actively looking to connect with funders and organisations that may be interested in supporting us.
