A show delving into a kaleidoscope of the thoughts and feelings of being young men in 2026. How friendships change between men over time. How true friendships involve being allies that call each other out when we’re in the wrong.

A piece devised with the Creatively Minded Men company working to bring together many experiences of manhood, brotherhood and being part of the wider Manchester community.

This production is part of a two-year project funded by the Baring Foundation. Contact is part of a national cohort of organisations working in response to the Foundation’s research report Creatively Minded Men, which explores men’s participation in the creative arts. Through our partnership with Nordoff & Robbins, the UK’s largest music therapy charity, our resident music therapist, Ben, has supported the CYC group during their time at Contact. We’re grateful both the The Baring Foundation and Nordoff & Robbins for supporting the CYC group in creating ReAlignment.
