Local community producing company ARCADE are bringingthe latest show from the award-winning Beatbox
Academy to Bridlington Spa on 25-26 September.
Pied Piper, is a hip-hop family musical, a modern re-telling of the traditional tale which imagines a world where
music is banned, and where the Piper plays a microphone instead of
a pipe.
Youngsters from Hilderthorpe Primary
School, young people from Headlands School, members of Spotlight
Youth Theatre, produced by
ARCADE in Bridlington, and young people from the Pupil Referral Service and Gallows Close Community
Centre in Scarborough, will all appear on stage and share their new vocal beatboxing skills.
ARCADE Co-director Sophie Drury-Bradey says: “Pied Piper is a high quality show made by some of the
most exciting artists in the UK today.
“We are proud to be working with Battersea Arts Centre and the BAC
Beatbox Academy, to bring this incredible show for families to Bridlington.
“The funding we receive from.East Riding of Yorkshire Council and the support of Bridlington Spa means
we can offer tickets as ‘Pay What You Can’ so price is not a barrier to anyone.”
Pied Piper includes a youth chorus made up of local young people who
have all undertaken a series of beatboxing workshops, with the Conrad and the Beatbox Academy
in preparation for the performances on 25 and 26 September.
Conrad Murray, Artistic Director of Beatbox Academy, says:
“I’m looking forward to sharing my skills with young people, also hearing their ideas through performance
and creativity. I’m excited to meet some new beatboxers, singers, rappers and actors.
They will get the chance to perform with some of the worlds best vocal gymnasts (including UK beatbox and
world champion beatboxer
ABH) plus other award winning creatives.”
This is an electrifying show of vocal wizardry for all ages 6+.
