TRANSFORMATIONS: Aerial Performance with Autin Dance Theatre

Once again we have partnered with Imagineer Productions in Coventry to deliver series of workshops as part of the Transformations Programme.

Transformations is a free creative programme that supports young people to build the skills and confidence they need to go on to employment, training or further education – created and led by Imagineer Productions in Coventry.

Across six sessions led by Autin Dance Theatre in the final two weeks of November, participants will work to create a visually striking performance, responding to the music, using storytelling and performance techniques to embody the theme of event. Working with the team, partners and other participants to create something exciting, experimental and unexpected to convey the theme of light, choreographed to the sound design piece of music.

Key dates:

Aerial Performance with Autin Dance Theatre:

  • 18-20 Nov 10am-4pm
  • 25-27 Nov 10am-4pm

The Takeover Event: Lighting up the Powerhouse

Let there be light! On Wed 4 Dec, Transformations will host ‘Lighting up the Powerhouse’, a takeover of Daimler Powerhouse, opening the space to Coventry’s youth communities. Young, diverse creatives will activate the building through assorted music, visuals, performances and immersive activities. The immersive event takes ‘light’ as its theme – as both a nod to Christmas and the act of illuminating the talents of local young people. We’re symbolically and physically ‘Lighting up the Powerhouse’ and reflecting the creativity and energy of Coventry’s young community.

Learn more about the final event here.

  • Mon 2 Dec 2024 (takeover rehearsal day)
  • Wed 4 Dec 6.30pm-9.30pm (takeover event)
