Special schools showcase art skills

Available for over a year

Midlands-based Open Theatre was commissioned by Coventry City of Culture Trust’s Education and Young People’s Programme, to create Uncover/Discover, a fun, ambitious and inclusive arts programme running over 12-months, at Baginton Fields School, Castle Wood School, Sherbourne Fields School, Riverbank Academy, Woodfield School and Hereward College. The project is supported with funding from The Eveson Charitable Trust. Specialist art practitioners ranging from dancers to musicians, actors, animators, film makers and artists, have been going into schools since March 2021 to work with students with learning disabilities from early years up to the age of 25, on a range of different projects looking closely at Coventry Canal and the River Sherbourne. We've been to one of the schools taking part and speak to Open Theatre producer Carly Mee.
