Urgent Volunteers Needed!!

RoguePlay Theatre are creating a new piece of circus theatre for outdoor performance at the site of Sparkhill  Park, on Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 April (12noon & 3pm) both days. The project, entitled Leap of Faith, is in partnership with Soul City Arts. The performance, entitled Leap of Faith, will use the huge mural painted on the back of the building, by Mohammed Ali of Soul City arts, as the inspiration for the piece.

We are looking for volunteers to support the delivery of the production. This will entail assisting people to complete monitoring forms and or working with the performers and graffiti artist to deliver the workshops   each day.

If you are interested and available for either or both days please contact RoguePlay Theatre:

Less than a week until Leap of Faith

It's less than a week until RoguePlay Theatre performs Leap of Faith  in Sparkhill Park, Stratford Road. We have posted a couple of clips, one from the rehearsals currently taking place and the other an interview with Mohammed Ali, of Soul City Arts talking about creating the mural.

Leap of Faith will be performed on Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 April and we hope that you will come out and support us and bring your friends and family. The performances will be followed by sessions where you can have a go at some of the acrobatics and other skills on display. However, if you do not feel that adventurous, you can have a go at creating a snazzy design on a baseball cap. This session is provided by Soul City Arts. We are sure this will prove to be very popular, we have a limited number of white baseball caps, we recommend you either get there early and or bring your own "White Baseball Cap" to make sure you leave with your own creation.We hope to see you there on Saturday or Sunday or both.

Leap of Faith

Rehearsals and workshops have been taking place over the past few weeks in respect of RoguePlay Theatre's forthcoming performance Leap of Faith, which is inspired by the mural created by Mohammed Ali of Soul City arts at the back of Sparkhill swimming baths, Stratford Rd. 

We are now busy perfecting the performance in time for the  scheduled  events on Saturday 13 and  Sunday 14 April. These performance will be complimented by opportunities for members of the public to have a go at some of the circus and acrobatic skills on display. In addition through our partnership with Soul City Arts there will be an opportunity to create exclusive graffiti designed baseball caps. There will be a limited amount of  caps  so if you want to ensure you walk away with your own design, bring your own "white baseball cap" to create your design.

We are looking for a few volunteers to assist us with the delivery of workshops and activities on the day, so if you are interested or know of anyone that would be keen to help out please contact RoguePlay Theatre: info@rogueplay.co.uk
