What's On - Creative BasildON

Summer Sparks

Our Summer Sparks programme took place over the month of August where x 4 creative groups from the local community, worked with x 4 local schools (Millhouse, Northland’s, Vange and Briscoe) in the Basildon borough to deliver a series of arts & cultural activities that were later showcased at our Creative Family Fun Day. Those creative groups included Words in Chalk, an Essex based spoken word and poetry community providing workshops and events. Hidden Talents, who work with young people to build on their self-expression and confidence through dance, drama, games, and performance. Brazilarte Academy, home to Brazilian martial arts, dance, music, art & culture. Finally, Infinity Circus – skilled professional performers from stilt walkers to hula hooper’s, jugglers to fire eaters, this troupe has over 15 years experience performing and teaching circus skills and street performing. Summer Sparks was in collaboration with Active, Thrive, Flourish.
