Barbican Box
Barbican Box has been running in secondary schools for 6 years in music, theatre and visual art. In 2016/17 we introduced a multi-artform primary school Box taking inspiration from the 350th anniversary of the Great Fire of London, working with 4 primary schools.
Barbican Box aims to ignite and support creative arts practice in schools and colleges through a guided process of making new work. Each Box provides an artistic starting point, from which teachers and students are able to create and devise their own new creative work in a variety of artforms. The Box is both a work of art in its own right and an educational tool.
Participation in Barbican Box: Primary is open. More information can be found here.
