Bringing Learning to Life
The much‑loved Spark Festival is back! Teachers tell us these visits are a highlight of the year, offering pupils a rare chance to enjoy high quality, live performance directly into their school halls. We create genuine connection and engagement, away from screens.
The Spark has curated a programme shaped with guidance from the Spark Mega Bosses – young people from schools across Leicester who selected themes they felt were most important to children today: play, peace and equity.
This year’s performances include a movement‑led adventure exploring dual heritage, bold and joyful punk inspired live music, and a heartfelt story of two hijabi step‑sisters training for a skateboarding competition.
Theatre that leaves a lasting impact long after the performance ends!
Key Themes
Themes include: Inclusion, bravery, belonging, live music, kindness, freedom of expression, listening, rhythm. Resilience, conflict resolution, family change/ separation, friendship, and belonging. Heritage, culture, belonging, community, self-discovery, building confidence and inclusivity.
Learning Resource Packs
We provide free learning resource packs to enhance your classroom learning to ensure you get the most out of each performance.
”The Spark Arts is always a highlight of our year. It provides enrichment for our children and gives them an opportunity to be engaged with the arts on a child friendly level. We are continually grateful that such high quality enriching performances form part of our school year.
