Transformations – Children of Chaos

This summer, we had the absolute pleasure of partnering with Imagineer Productions to deliver Transformations, a powerful creative programme that brought together 11 brilliant young participants to co-create a brand-new outdoor performance – Children of Chaos.

Led by our incredible dance leaders Johnny and Charlie, the group spent several weeks devising and developing this dynamic piece using recycled bamboo canes and cog reels, exploring themes of conflict and peace, chaos and calm. The result was a striking and heartfelt performance that truly reflected the energy and imagination of these emerging artists.

The young cast also got a real taste of life as working performers – touring their show to Jubilee Crescent, Coventry Cathedral Ruins, and The Powerhouse Weekender. From loading vans and setting up staging to supporting one another through every challenge, their dedication and teamwork shone through every step of the way. 🌟

We’re so proud of everything this year’s group achieved and grateful to have collaborated once again with Imagineer Productions on such an inspiring project.

Keep an eye on our channels – we’ll soon be announcing upcoming workshops in partnership with Imagineer Productions, and we can’t wait!
