Throughout the festival musicians, artists, theatre-makers, and choreographers work with schools, colleges, and communities to enable children and young people to make their very own remarkable pieces of music, art, poetry, drama, and dance.
Our Biennale projects are being delivered in schools until the end of June 2022 and this year’s theme is MAGNIFICENT ME! The focus of the festival is well-being and using the arts to inspire children and young people as they juggle school and overcome the effects of lockdowns and isolations.
Artists will help them celebrate and express themselves through movement, music, self-portraits, alter egos, avatars, puppets, costumes and more.
Our Biennale was made possible through projects with these artists and arts organisations:
The Children’s Art School, Chol Theatre, Elizabeth Walker, hcmf//, Isobel Denton, Jane Howroyd (Arts 4 All), Kirklees Year of Music, Lawrence Batley Theatre, Manasamitra, Musica Kirklees, Nisha Lall Dance, Parley, Rag & Bone, Sam Charlesworth, Sangam Festival, Seaglass Collective, Toria Garbutt, and West Yorkshire Print Workshop.
