Kalaborate Sharing Exhibition
KALABORATION IS THE NAME OF THE GAME
Young people have been collaborating with local artists across Birmingham to create visual, digital and performance based art works inspired by the Olympic Games and the Jamaica 50 celebrations.
Led by RoguePlay Theatre in partnership with The Drum Arts Centre, Birmingham Institute of Art and Design (BIAD) Birmingham City University, Kalaborate aims to show that young people have something to say about these events through a series of exhibitions across the city.
Working alongside RoguePlay Theatre director Kim Charnock and aerial circus practitioner Joe Fearn, 12 -18 year olds have created an hour long exhibition that highlighting their opinions of the historic 2012 Games through aerial silks, walking globe, dance, drama and photography. This first part of the project will be shared with friends and family on 25th February, where a number of young people will be selected to develop their work in June for a final public showing in July.
They will be joined in July by a group of 8-11 year olds, who have their own series of workshops in theatre, poetry, photography and video at The Drum from the 3rd March. A number of volunteers have already engaged in the project, gaining experience in helping other young people develop their own piece for the public exhibition. The June series as well as the public exhibition will see more young volunteers engaging in the project.
