ArtsFest gets going

Sep 10 2004

By Andy Coleman

 

It's the one that we want! This year's Birmingham ArtsFest has something for everyone, including a screening in Centenary Square of the musical Grease starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton John.

The fun starts at noon tomorrow and continues until 10.45pm on Sunday. All performances are free and range from live music and dance to workshops and comedy.

In Centenary Square tomorrow are performances by Birmingham Royal Ballet and jazz saxophonist Soweto Kinch, while Sunday features a day of reggae with The Beat, Neville Staple and Musical Youth's Dennis Seaton, as well as the screening of Grease at 9pm.

BrindleyPlace hosts an Arts Village and in the Library Theatre will be a mini film festival featuring Short Cuts movies.

A craft market at the Rep theatre and a painting exhibition at the Mailbox are just a couple of other attractions.

Whatever your interests, this weekend ArtsFest is the word!

* With more than 100,000 people expected to visit Arts-Fest, Broad Street will be open to pedestrians only Sheepcote Street to Paradise Circus from 6am tomorrow to 11pm on Sunday.
