Sisters 360
Recommended for ages 8-12 Fatima and Salima are the closest, coolest, hijabi step-sisters in all of Bradford and they will win the Tiny is Mighty skateboarding competition, there is no doubt about it. They’ve practised every trick in the book, and look (almost) as good as Sky Brown on the telly, just check out their YouTube Channel if you’re not convinced. Nothing will stop them. Except their parents have started whispering in the kitchen about living apart… about moving to different cities… only seeing each other in school holidays. How will they perfect their routine and win gold if their whole lives are about to turn 360 too? Only the greatest super plan ever concocted will help them achieve their dreams. Inspired by real-life skateboarding sisters Layna, Maysa and Amaya, and their hero Olympic Medallist Sky Brown. A brand-new production written by Asif Khan. Approximately 1 hour Access performances: BSL Interpreted: Wednesday 9 April 2.30pm Audio described: Thursday 10 April 2.30pm Relaxed: Thursday 17 April 2.30pmRead more

Wimbledon Rock Choir
If you have ever wondered 'are there any community choirs near me?' then the answer is firmly yes! The Wimbledon Rock Choir is led by vocal coach Rebecca Rowe. Rock Choir is unequalled in the opportunities we can offer our members - from performing at top music and arts venues like the Royal Albert Hall and on top of the BT tower to raising money for some of the UKs best-loved good causes such as Comic Relief,Sign2Sing and Missing People. Appearing on national television and singing with celebrities like Natasha Bedingfield has been exciting and exhilarating, but Rock Choir members still know the importance of supporting our local community causes and events! Joining a choir can be a brave step to take for some and in light of this Rebecca tries to make it as easy as possible for you by giving the opportunity to have a FREE taster session and then to have a chat with her about singing. Rock Choir is the leading group in community singing. We launched our FREE choir taster sessions back in 2005 and have 19 years experience giving members of the public who are new to group singing the chance to try joining a choir without the need to audition or read music. Here is a quote about our choir - 'I am a Rock Choir member and love my weekly 90 minutes of singing and smiling with so many people and also the addictive 'high' that it leaves me with. Caroline Redman Lusher and her team have created something very, very special.' - Kate (Rock Choir Member) Rock Choir is a winner of the Red Ribbon 'Big Heart' Award [https://rockchoir.com/awards-achievements/]. and holds 1 former and 2 current Guinness World Records. The choir is also credited with single handedly starting the contemporary choir movement.Read more
