STEAM! Community Performance Volunteer

STEAM! is a large-scale outdoor dance theatre production from acclaimed Southpaw Company, commissioned as part of the Stockton & Darlington Railway 200 celebrations.

This powerful new show tells the origin story of the worldʼs first passenger railway — and the extraordinary people who built it.
