Imagine all the basic needs of life lined up like a row of dominoes. When one topples—like losing a job—it triggers a chain reaction that affects everything else, from having enough money for food or childcare to having a safe and secure home. Everyday rights properly protected in law would keep these dominoes standing, ensuring that people’s needs are met and all the pieces stay in place, allowing them to live with dignity, even when things go wrong.
Grange Pavilion and Common/Wealth have joined forces to explore Everyday Rights and what we, the people, need to express, support, and take action to ensure our needs are met.

THEATRE WORKSHOP
Join critically acclaimed theatre maker Emer Morris for a joyful, hands-on workshop exploring how performance can respond to housing and land injustice. Rooted in Emer’s co-authored, community-led approach, this session will introduce accessible verbatim techniques and collective storytelling methods.
We’ll explore how lived experience, place and collective visioning can be shaped into performance — with a focus on Cardiff’s own histories and struggles around land, housing and belonging. No performance experience needed just curiosity and a willingness to collaborate.
Saturday 16th August 1-4pm
Sessions are free and don’t require a deposit. Book through our Eventbrite links: Theatre Workshop.
