Congratulations Mel and Sonia
Big congratulations to Sonia Sabri and Mel Lewis who have now become trained Arts Award Explore Advisors! Our future plans are to develop this fantastic programme within schools and organisations. We are starting our new journey with Arts Award in a local primary school in Birmingham, Niskam Primary, so do keep your eyes peeled for further information about this project.
Arts Award Explore is an entry level 3 qualification designed for ages 7 and above but is open to anyone aged up to 25. The Arts Award Explore programme allows participants to take part in a range of art activities helping to develop their own personal creativity and to record the progress of this in a fun and creative way. While working towards their qualification participants will also experience the work of other artists and art organisations and have the opportunity to share their achievements with others.
We feel Arts Award is a wonderful opportunity to spread the arts practise to our future generation thus empowering the community to make sense of their lives and the world around them, using the tools of imagination to leap forward and present a voice for the people, so everyone involved can stand a head taller than themselves in every day life. Art is a powerful tool that changes lives for the better!
If you would like further information about this amazing opportunity please contact Mel Lewis at:For more information about Arts Award Explore visit:

NEXT STOP FOR SALAAM
Ludlow Assembly Rooms
Thursday 24th March
Internationally acclaimed South Asian artists Sonia and Sarvar Sabri are returning to Ludlow Assembly Rooms for ONE NIGHT ONLY!
Salaam meaning ‘peace’ is Sonia Sabri Company’s latest stunning creation. This double-bill programme cleverly weaves a dialogue between live music and Kathak dance, celebrating harmony, inner –stillness and the simple bliss of being alive.
Salaam combines a rare treat of Tabla music by a world-renowned maestro. Sarvar Sabri performs outstanding compositions of rhythm, with complexity and speed, through his unique finger work. The talented Shoma Dey joins Sarvar Sabri and performs endearing musical patterns on the harmonium accompanied with powerful vocals, which fuel and vibrates a resonance in the performance.
Sonia presents sheer magic through expressive and rhythmic dance with live music. The audience are taken on a journey with Sonia’s poignant metaphorical narratives and though her command of intricate footwork, eloquent gesture and rapid spins. Audiences will be in awe!
Salaam was originally created in response to the unrest around the world and aims to refocus and reminisce on all that is good. If you've ever wondered where beat-boxing and rapping originates from, this is a show that will reveal the roots and more wonders!
“Such an incredible musicality, it was impossible not to gaze in wonder and adoration... An uplifting crescendo of music and dance” (Dance Europe)
