There are two opportunities to see Calf 2 Cow’s The Wave this weekend, on Saturday at The Pound Arts Centre and on Sunday at The Holburne Museum. Brought alive through sea shanty, trembling drums, acoustic guitars, harpsichords, and song, this is an outdoor adventure for all the family!
Pavilion Dance South West’s Bounce Back Dance Festival has had a great run so far and continues this weekend with Autin Dance Theatre’s OUT OF THE DEEP BLUE, playing from 4-6 June at Poole Quay.
On Saturday celebrate the first major moment of Coventry’s year as UK City of Culture with Coventry Moves. The day-long celebration will tell the story of Coventry’s pioneering identity and how it continues to shape its future and give voice to the many people that call the city their home. Coventry Moves will be a day of moments and shared experiences, designed to be enjoyed from home online, on the radio and on your timeline.
Also on Saturday, grab your blankets and join The Fabularium for a magical outdoor performance of ‘The Hare and The Moon’ in the grounds of Burnley Youth Theatre. This high-energy, family performance has it all, puppetry, music, a stunning set and even illuminated lanterns!
Lastly, on Sunday Bash Street Theatre are at the Minack Theatre in Cornwall with their brilliant show The Cameraman. There is topical intrigue, mistaken identities and silent comedy as the storyline follows the fortunes of an inept cameraman who inadvertently becomes involved in an international robbery. Not to be missed!
As always, let us know what you’re up to and have a great weekend.
