Are you a 12-17 year old with South Asian/ Global majority heritage? Are you excited about telling stories using drama and visual art?
Routes to Roots is a partnership between Belgrade Theatre and Maya Productions.
This participation project is inspired by our new musical, Benny and the Greycats, which tells the story of a family of Anglo-Indian musicians who swap playing in a swing band in South India, for a new life in 1960s Sheffield.
Over 7 weeks you will be invited to explore stories about family, home and migration and develop your own creative response building creative skills, exploring journeys of migration, sharing music, and telling stories using multiple artforms.
The free sessions will run across 7 weekly sessions on Mondays from 6.30 – 8.30pm beginning 26 September (no session on 24 Oct) until 21 November where there will be a sharing for family and friends. Please see our most recent Routes to Roots highlight video here.
