Back in December, we teamed up with Imagineer Productions in Coventry to deliver a series of free workshops as part of the Transformations Programme. Over six sessions, our talented participants explored storytelling and performance techniques, bringing music to life through movement and creativity. In the final two weeks of November, their hard work culminated in a stunning showcase during The Takeover Event: Lighting up the Powerhouse, where they delivered a visually striking performance that truly embodied the event’s theme. A huge well done to everyone involved!
