Games Time

Games Time, a spectacular outdoor stage show combining music, video, fireworks and professional dancers, will be performed in Loughborough as part of The Spark Children's Arts Festival in June 2012

The show, which is inspired by the Olympic and Paralympic Games, gives volunteers the chance to work with professional dancers and choreographers, costume makers and set designers as well as seeing how a large outdoor show is put together.

Games Time centres around a battle between four teams of coloured counters on a large games board. Set against a backdrop of giant video projections and music, Games Time features people from the local community competing as part of a giant performance involving kings, queens, executioners and mythical creatures, such as dragons and minotaurs.

The event brings together world class artistic and production partners and gives people in the East Midlands a once in a lifetime chance to be part of celebrations around the Olympic Games.

Games Time has been funded by Legacy Trust UK, an independent charity set up to help build a lasting cultural and sporting legacy from the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games across the UK.
