CHAT:SS Present 'Free Thought' - Chorlton Arts Festival 2025

Chorlton High Shines At Chorlton Arts Festival!

Chorlton High School was delighted to participate once again in the vibrant Chorlton Arts Festival, celebrating the incredible artistic talent and creativity within our school community. This annual festival provides a fantastic platform for our students to showcase their hard work and engage with the wider local arts scene. We are incredibly proud of all our students and staff who contributed their time and talent to make our presence at the festival a wonderful success.

Chorlton High School recently hosted a thought-provoking event as CHAT:SS (Chorlton High Arts Team: Site Specific) presented 'Free Thought.'  This immersive dance and drama performance explored the powerful theme of artificial intelligence and the concept of consciousness in a captivating new way. 

Each year our CHAT:SS production looks to break traditional theatre boundaries. For 2025 our performers were inspired to present a piece of promenade theatre, taking the audience on a journey in and around the Chorlton High site.  For an hour, audience members walked alongside performers, experiencing the unfolding narrative as they moved through different spaces.

The performance offered a dynamic and engaging experience that challenged perceptions and encouraged reflection on the central theme. It was a fantastic demonstration of the creativity and innovation thriving within Chorlton High's arts community.
