About the Box
Each Barbican Box is filled with everything students and teachers need to create original and exciting theatre or visual art. Barbican Box schools will become part of Coney’s Playful Secret Agency: an introduction to playful activism in schools built on three principles of play: adventure, curiosity and loveliness. It aims to prompt creative responses to the passion and challenges young people are experiencing - emotional health, resilience, transitioning - empowering them to have an amplified voice and bring about positive change that will affect them and their peers.
The Barbican Box programme is suitable for secondary school teachers to use with any age group in their school, although this year’s Barbican Box has been specifically designed to support the delivery of learning objectives in the KS3 curriculum.
HOME
Barbican Box has collaborated with schools and colleges in London, Manchester and Harlow.
Barbican Box at HOME offers Barbican Box to secondary schools and colleges across Greater Manchester.
From gallery to screen to stage, via café bar and bookshop, HOME redefines the idea of an ‘arts centre.’ It’s a shared space and a creative space, where what’s new is what matters and what matters is that you’re always made to think, to question and to feel... at home. Whether you want to see work that challenges and astounds, or get closer to directors, writers, filmmakers and artists, or just drink the best coffee in town, we hope you love HOME.
