Forthcoming Event
ACE: A series of carnival showcase events will shine a light on the East of England this summer in the run up to London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Funded by Arts Council England & Legacy Trust UK and led by the UK Centre for Carnival Arts (UKCCA) in Luton, Carnival Crossroads is an 18 month project which will culminate in a parade at the Luton International Carnival 2012. Carnival Crossroads is part of the London 2012 Festival, which is the finale of the Cultural Olympiad.
The 5 showcase events in summer 2011 for Carnival Crossroads have been developed with 500 young people from across the region, based in Luton, Cambridge, Ipswich, Norwich and Southend. These young participants have all been trained in performance & dance techniques by a team of choreographers, with a routine and costumes inspired by Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet.
