KALA THE ARTS - DEEPALI -Light it Up 2021
November 2021
This was an exciting flagship project initiated and led by Kala The Arts. It consisted of several elements, workshops, a new commission, a parade through the town centre, giant puppets, dhol drummers, followed by a range of professional and community performances in the outdoor amphitheatre.
The parade had some 1500 participants and was one of the largest seen in recent years. Organised by Kala The Arts with funding from Arts Council England and supported by B&DBC.
