In the video above, Bohemian Balcony creative director Dan Rivers explains his vision for the old Palladium Cinema in Swindon and how the money raised will be used to fuel the arts across the local area.
The Bohemian Balcony project is all about bringing creative people together in Swindon; working as a community to make things happen to the cultural landscape and breathing new life into a forgotten building which will innovate, support and celebrate the local evolving multi-arts scene.
It is a beautiful platform where minds of all ages have the freedom to create, the opportunity to become ground breaking practitioners and a space to bring their ideas to life with support.
The vision of The Bohemian Balcony started with Dan Rivers who had nothing but ambition and utter belief; not an investor, organisation or council… Just a little self-less man with BIG ideas, who took a risk in order to make a vision a reality for Swindon, lighting the fuse and getting things rolling.
Already the space is beginning to come to life and the name is spreading thanks to the people Dan has met, the partnerships and friendships formed, and the support from all those who want to see it happen.
