This collaborative performance brings together Year 4 pupils from Arundel Court Primary School and Young Creatives, blending a genre of dance forms that will celebrate cultural diversity and creative expression. Beginning at opposite ends of Victoria Park, the theatrical journey follows the passing of light between performers, symbolising connection, shared experiences and the richness of our differences.

Inspired by birds in flight, the children will create a travelling pathway towards the main stage, celebrating how different cultures and generations can come together through movement, storytelling and the universal language of dance.
