SUMMER IN SOUTHSIDE
1 Area of Birmingham, 2 Weekends of outdoor entertainment,
FREE for everyone!
Hi everyone - sorry for the lack of Theatre tweeting and blogging over the last few weeks - have been inundated with lots of Performances, Choreography Projects besides setting up my own dancing school 'Linzi G School of Dance.'
Less about me and more about some exciting performances coming this Summer in Birmingham! Following Birmingham Hippodromes' successful Six Summer Saturdays outdoor programme last year, for August 2013 they are presenting two jam packed weekends of spectacular outdoor performance in the heart of the Southside area of Birmingham. This FREE event will
provide visitors with the chance to experience inspiring dance, spectacular physical theatre, awe-inspiring circus, amazing puppetry, as well as many more artistic acts.
Paul Kaynes, Director of Creative Programmes at Birmingham Hippodrome said:
“For the last three summers we have brought unusual outdoor performances across the city enjoyed by thousands of people. This year we are delighted to be producing two big weekends of free performances especially for visitors to Southside. Whether shopping, eating or theatre going people will not be able to miss some of the best outdoor theatre in the country.”

The free SUMMER IN SOUTHSIDE performances will take place on Hippodrome Square, Arcadian, Inge Street, and Hurst St so all within a three minute walk of each other leaving time for alfresco dining and a spot of retail therapy.
Performances on both weekends run from 12noon - 7pm and you can check out the full programme of events from Birmingham Hippodrome Website.
I hope to be tweeting live from and visiting these spectacular performances over the Summer so don't miss your chance to experience Birmingham Southside as you've never seen it before!
