SUMMARY:Suitcases - Victoria Baths
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to Hit The Ground Running Dance Theatre Company! We are thrilled to present our latest performance ‘Suitcases’ at the beautiful Victoria Baths Manchester on October 2nd 2025 at 7:00PM. \n \nWorking in collaboration with Jon Crispin\, a Massachusetts based photographer\, this performance is inspired by his exhibition\, ‘The Willard Suitcases’. Jon has worked on his exhibition for more than 10 years and his knowledge of the Willard Institute and the Suitcases will be invaluable to this performance \n\n\n\n\nIn 1995\, The Willard Asylum\, New York\, closed its doors after a century of treating those deemed unfit for civilised society. Discovered in an attic\, the suitcases of 427 Willard patients were found. Beautifully preserved epitaphs to a few of those who lived and died at the Willard asylum and a poignant remembrance of the lives they left outside. Drawing inspiration from some of the suitcases found\, Hit The Ground Running’s new theatrical performance is a moving exploration of the people behind the suitcases and plays homage to innocent lives lived and lost to madness. \n\n6:00PM – Doors Open \n6:30-6:50PM – John Crispin Willard Suitcases Presentation (a presentation delivered by photographer Jon Crispin focusing on his ‘Williard Suitcases’ exhibition \n7:00-7:20PM She Choir Manchester Performance \n7:20-8:20PM – Suitcases Performance \n  \n\n‘Suitcases’ is funded and Supported by \nArts Council England\, North Shields Cultural Quarter\, Exchange 1856\, Queens Hall Hexham\, Dance City\, Victoria Baths Manchester & Jon Crispin \nWarning: ‘Suitcases’ contains themes of mental illness

The Friends of Victoria Baths set up the Victoria Baths Trust\, a charity that aims to repair and maintain the building to bring it back into public use. Since then significant restoration has taken place and the building now has over 30\,000 visitors a year enjoying a wide range of activities including exhibitions\, festivals\, and weddings. There is still a lot of work to be done and the Trust remains determined to bring the amazing building back to its full potential and continue to support the health and well-being of the people of Manchester – its original purpose. \n  \nYou can support Victoria Baths by donating\, becoming a member of the Friends\, becoming a volunteer\, or making a purchase in our tea room and online shop.

Since then significant restoration has taken place and the building now has over 30\,000 visitors a year enjoying a wide range of activities including exhibitions\, festivals\, and weddings. There is still a lot of work to be done and the Trust remains determined to bring the amazing building back to its full potential and continue to support the health and well-being of the people of Manchester – its original purpose. \n  \nYou can support Victoria Baths by donating\, becoming a member of the Friends\, becoming a volunteer\, or making a purchase in our tea room and online shop.

Please note on busier days we may have to ask you to give up a table for a tea room customer\, but there are other spaces to sit across the building. \n  \nDo you allow group bookings? \nIf you are interested in joining our guided tour with a group of 6 or more\, please get in touch directly to discuss a group tour – 0161 224 2020 or email enquiries@victoriabaths.org.uk \n  \nWhy do you ask for donations? \nWhen the Baths closed in 1993\, the local community campaigned vigorously to try to prevent the closure. The Friends of Victoria Baths set up the Victoria Baths Trust\, a charity that aims to repair and maintain the building to bring it back into public use. Since then significant restoration has taken place and the building now has over 30\,000 visitors a year enjoying a wide range of activities including exhibitions\, festivals\, and weddings. There is still a lot of work to be done and the Trust remains determined to bring the amazing building back to its full potential and continue to support the health and well-being of the people of Manchester – its original purpose. \n  \nYou can support Victoria Baths by donating\, becoming a member of the Friends\, becoming a volunteer\, or making a purchase in our tea room and online shop.
