The Beat Initiative have had the honour of being featured not just once but TWICE on BBC Radio Ulster’s Arts Extra show this week!!

Click here to listen to a great interview from Monday’s Arts Extra show with Damian Mills, one of The Beat Initiative’s drumming facilitators extraordinaire and four of the young drummers from Wandsworth in east Belfast who are in Bologna this week to take part in a performance to mark the end of the two year BelBoBru Project.

And click here to listen to yet another great interview, this time with Kate Lawrence who has been leading workshops with a group of dancers, actors, circus artists and gymnasts in Belfast over the past two months to develop new skills in vertical dance and produce the choreography to be performed on the front of City Hall on Saturday 17th October to mark its re-opening. The butterfly theme is highly appropriate to choreographing vertical dance, as it allows the dancers to discover movement that ‘flies’ through the air. And when you’ve finished listening to the interview, click here to watch a video of Kate in action.
