Thursday 2 May from 6:30pm-8:30pm:
Be in an Onstage Shiamak Bollywood Dance Show
In this two-hour workshop, we invite you to star in your own Bollywood music video - to be filmed on the Key Theatre stage.
Our excellent dance instructor from Shiamak Midlands, Neharika, will teach you the choreography and dance moves from the iconic Bollywood film “Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham…” before you go onstage to perform the routine while being recorded by a professional film crew.
Neharika trained with India’s ‘Guru of Dance', Shiamak Davar, and has taught hundreds of students as an instructor herself. Don’t miss this chance to learn from her, and to be part of a Bollywood music video - where you are the star.
Make sure you wear something comfortable that you can move in but are happy to be filmed wearing, and don’t forget a bottle of water. Please wear something red for the filming.

Sunday 5 May from 11am-3pm:
Share Your Style Stories With Us
Come and find our booth at the Key Theatre, where we’ll be asking members of the public to share personal stories of items of clothing that hold special meaning. Do you wear the same jacket to every concert? Is your dress a hand-me-down from a sibling, or an heirloom from a parent or grandparent? Do you have a lucky pair of socks? We want to hear from you!
Our team will also challenge you to create a stylish and unique outfit that you would wear using the clothes at our booth (vintage and modern), which you can then take a picture in.
This event is part of our new Style Stories project, developed by our young group of New Creatives and run in collaboration with local artists like Rose Croft.
You don’t need to book, come to the Key Theatre and find our booth to chat with our team to share your story.
