Thank you so much for signing up to be part of Parade- The Big Wheel. We're thrilled to have you on board. This page will hold all the information you need for taking part and will be updated regularly. Please bear with us while we get information in from our artists. In the meantime, why not get inspired and watch the trailer.
You’ll need to attend a workshop in the week before the festival (wc 25th August) and be available for at least one of the four scheduled shows.
Participants will be able to sign up for as many shows as they like, but there is no pressure to do all of them. We know many of you will be involved in multiple things across the weekend.
We will ensure there are workshops both during the day and on an evening to fit around schedules.
The dates for these performances will be Saturday 30th and Sunday 31st of August and predicted times are below (please be aware that these may change slightly).
Saturday 30th:
11am-12pm
4pm-5pm
Sunday 31st:
11am-12pm
2pm-3pm
Locations for rehearsal TBC. If you are part of a group, it's likely we will come to you.
Workshop leaders and participants will work together to create the content, making it a collaborative experience. The sessions will focus on easy, inclusive group movement activities like:
• Body percussion
• Clapping and rhythm dance
• Waving handkerchiefs as props
• Upper body gestures that show welcome, greeting, and support
All activities will take place around the Giant Wheel, adding to the shared energy of the performance.
