My House

4 Extra Debut. Nija Dalal-Small joins the 'Festival in My House' project, produced in ordinary people's homes around the city. From 2017.

Manchester International Festival (MIF) is the world’s first festival of original, new work and special events. It is staged every two years.

In the run-up to MIF17, the Manchester International Festival is running a project called "Festival in My House", inviting and producing ordinary people’s ideas for tiny arts festivals, to be held in their own homes.

Festival In My House brings the arts and MIF into in local communities around Manchester.

Nija Dalal-Small, who held one of these 'tiny festivals' in her own Levenshulme home, visits some of the others - including ones hosting a Parisian post-punk band, a spoken word celebration and a classical music event - as well as attending a festival in a residential home...

Nija speaks with the artists and guests as they experience the arts in this unique, intimate way.

Producers: Nija Dalal-Small and Geoff Bird
