Projects
The Spark likes to get involved in 'out of festival' activity that will promote arts for local children, and create events for the festival too.
Open Minded Play Spaces
The Spark and Leicester City Council are working together to create two new playspaces this year, on Braunstone Park and Aylestone Meadows.
They are designed to be 'open-minded' spaces for children - stimulating imaginative play but also serving as community spaces for small scale events throughout the year.
For an update about each location and the designs please follow the links below:
Professional development courses
Each year during the festival The Spark brings many artists to Leicester who have long experience in creating live performance for children. Each year, we try to harnass some of that expertise to offer professional development opportunities for local arts practitioners.
This year's CPD event will be "Lighting the Fire". This brand new course brings together arts practitioners and educators working in nursery/playgroup settings to explore together the rich world of performances for the Early Years.
