’THE PEOPLE’S PHOENIX’

Trainee Blacksmith Rhiannon Wilson is still learning the ropes, under the guidance of her friend and mentor,
Stewart Dives. They have received a new commission from The People’s Theatre in Newcastle upon Tyne:
the design and construction of a brand-new phoenix sculpture, to complete the theatre’s renovation project.

As active members of the theatre, this commission means a lot to both Rhiannon and Stewart. However, the
task is even more personal to Rhiannon, as she strives to forge a path for herself in this new, unusual career
choice.

‘The People’s Phoenix’ celebrates the passion of a local community, whilst also exploring the hardships of
being a working-class artist.

A massive thanks to all the amazing artists, practitioners, and theatre members who helped make this happen!
