Join us at The Core Theatre for an inspiring evening of live presentations and small-scale works-in-progress, offering a first look at emerging ideas and creative voices in Solihull.

Eight artists have been commissioned to develop micro-projects across dance, film, spoken word, music and visual arts. This year’s selected artists are:

Hadija Brittain-Harris - Solo dance performance

Shayan Mawlood - “Whispers of the Nightfolk” a looping projection installation with graphite drawing

Ayan Mahamud - "Meadows Creek", Poetry film

Imogen Smith - Printed textiles

Amara Latchford - music composition

Milly Best - Solo dance performance

Humeira Naseem - Trailer for a short film

Michelle Amezcua - Clay sculpture

Small is Beautiful provides a platform for artists to experiment, test new concepts and develop their practice. As part of the programme, each commissioned artist receives dedicated support to help shape and refine their work.

This is the 4th year of Small is Beautiful, presented in collaboration with Solihull Cultural Education Partnership (CEP).
