See event details

A event on Saturday 7th June. The event starts at 13:00.


A powerful outdoor dance show performed en-masse to a soundscape with intense energy and Hip Hop beats.

‘Born to Protest’ dismantles presumptions about the black male and female figure based on intimidation, danger and isolation, revealing instead character traits around fragility, vulnerability and a constant battle to prove oneself.

Born to Protest will be on at 1:15pm & 4:40pm

Born to Protest is presented as part of Whirligig Festival: A free international festival of circus & outdoor arts for all ages in Weston-Super-Mare on 6 to 8 June
