Looking for a Birmingham Summer School adventure for curious young minds at the end of August?
Sampad have two experiences for young people aged 8-14, who want to experience drama, dance and performance.
Secret Trails Summer School
Across the week, children will work with Sampad’s artists as they step into role as a team of young detectives, following a mystery that unfolds day by day. Set within the scenic surroundings of Cannon Hill Park, each trail, task and unexpected encounter draws them deeper into a carefully crafted story brought to life through their ideas, creativity and teamwork.
Throughout the week, participants will:
• meet intriguing characters and respond to unexpected encounters
• follow clues and take on creative challenges across indoor and outdoor spaces
• work together to uncover secrets and solve a developing mystery
• explore ideas through dance, drama, music and visual art
• build confidence, collaboration and creative thinking
By the end of the week, they will have unravelled the mystery, overcome each obstacle and helped bring the story to its final resolution.
A week of curiosity, creativity and connection, where every child has a part to play.
£85 for one child or £160 for two siblings. Book Here.
Play in a Day
Through games, improvisation and creative storytelling, participants will work together with professional artists to shape characters, scenes and ideas into a short performance full of humour, heart and imagination.
At 3pm on the same day, participants will share their finished piece with family and friends, but the journey does not stop there.
Participants will also have the exciting opportunity to perform their work as part of a curtain raiser for Sampad’s large-scale outdoor production taking place in the Arena at Midlands Arts Centre.
The Play in a Day workshop will take place on Friday 28 August, with the Midsummer Masti performance taking place on the evening of Sunday 30 August.
A complimentary ticket for Midsummer Masti will be offered on request to a parent/carer of a young person performing.
