RoguePlaytheatre are creating a new piece of circus theatre for outdoor performance at
the site of Sparkhill swimming baths. The project, entitled Leap of Faith, is funded by the
Birmingham City council as part of their “Culture on your doorstep” scheme and
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
holding open rehearsals accessible to people 19+, followed by free workshops to
give you an opportunity to have a go at Silks and Static trapeze, as well as
Capoeira and acrobatics. The full performances in April will be followed by participatory
workshops including graffiti provided by Soul City Arts
Open Rehearsals / Workshops @ Unit 8, Minerva Works, 158 Fazeley St, B5 5RT :
Tuesday 5th March 3pm-5pm, Wednesday 20th March 3pm-5pm
Performances @ Sparkhill Park, Stratford Rd:

As a company, RoguePlay are dedicated to the development of Circus
Theatre- primarily concerned with the combination of a text based narrative and
the use of both ground and aerial circus. We have been most recently involved
in an Arts Council funded project entitled 'If Only I Could', an outdoor circus
theatre performance which was also supported by the Birmingham's
Hippodrome, MAC Birmingham, Sandwell Arts Festival and mentored by NoFit
State Circus. www.rogueplay.co.uk
