Dudley Performing Arts' Special Events
Dudley Performing Arts is always involved with special events throughout the year, alongside its day to day work in Arts Education. We get asked to support many events region-wide and we also approach suitable events through which to showcase our talents.
Festival of Water & Light
An annual Festival held on the first weekend in October at The Waterfront, Merry Hill.
DPA support this event through music and dance performances on purpose built stages set amongst the canal wharf at Merry Hill.
International Mask Festival 2007
19 - 27 October 2007 at The Glasshouse Arts Centre, Stourbridge.
The festival will bring together the very best in international mask theatre performances by leading artists and companies in a packed programme and provide a truly unmissable opportunity to explore the history, magic, emotion, excitement, art and humour behind the mask with activities and performances for all the family throughout the festival period.
Dudley Performing Arts has contributed to the IMF Festival by liaising with local schools and local artists to generate a cohort of teachers and local artists to undertake mask training led by specialist mask makers at The Glasshouse College. Young people who contribute to the competition will be able to see their masks on the IMF website and mask entries will be exhibited at The Glasshouse College in the International Mask Festival, to be viewed by friends and family.
