Last November, over six magical weeks, we hosted lantern-making and storytelling workshops alongside incredible local artists and community groups🏮. In partnership with Midlands Arts Centre (MAC) and Birmingham City Council, we crafted stunning lanterns that illuminated our Light Up Fest procession! 🌟 Â
Now, thanks to our talented videographer Steve Gill, you can relive these beautiful moments in our newly released doc-film—available now on our YouTube channel and below:
Light Up Fest is a vibrant, community-driven celebration by Autin Dance Theatre in partnership with Midlands Arts Centre (MAC) and Birmingham City Council, featuring awe-inspiring performances, interactive installations, and large-scale processions. Bringing light, movement, and creativity to public spaces, the festival invites audiences to explore themes of connection, resilience, and hope. Light Up Fest is where art meets community, transforming ordinary spaces into extraordinary experiences.
Join us again for our 2nd edition of Light Up Fest at end of February 2026 (to be confirmed)—a celebration of light, movement, and community!
