Young people who are part of Revolution Performing Arts (RPA) will be presenting their latest show – An Ode to Empowerment in May.
In honour of Children’s Day UK, celebrated nationally on May 14, is a unique performance highlighting the creativity, confidence, and voices of children and young people who live in the Swindon and Wiltshire area. It aligns with RPA’s mission to empower every child to thrive in a safe, inclusive, and encouraging environment.
“The audience can expect a joyful and uplifting experience as young performers showcase the work they’ve developed in weekly RPA classes, all centred on the theme of empowerment and building a sustainable, hopeful future together” says Fi Da Silva Adams, founder and CEO of RPA.
Young performers will be part of the audience as well as the show, entering the stage from the auditorium to cheer each other on in a moving display of mutual support and shared celebration. This inclusive approach is a hallmark of RPA’s ethos, where every child is seen, heard, and celebrated.
Fi said: “This performance is a beautiful tribute to the power of young voices. We believe in nurturing not only talent but confidence, individuality, and community spirit. ‘An Ode to Empowerment’ is exactly that. It is a joyful, moving celebration of what happens when young people are truly listened to.”
Sara Witham, whose son Ziggy will be performing, added: “Ziggy has been going to RPA since just after Christmas. He very much needed a space to be himself and do all the things he loves like acting, singing, dancing and meeting new friends. He has really come into his own at the sessions and feels that he can express himself in a safe, welcoming and non-judgmental environment.
“I noticed a confidence in him that I wanted to make sure he kept, so I looked for a performing arts group that would help him build on that in a relaxed way – we certainly got it with RPA. He is really looking forward to the group performance at the Wyvern which they are now working towards. We can’t wait to see him and his friends on stage!”
An Ode to Empowerment takes place at the Wyvern Theatre, Swindon, on Sunday 18th May at 3pm. To buy tickets, visit: https://trafalgartickets.com/wyvern-theatre-swindon/en-GB/event/other/revolution-performing-arts-present-an-ode-to-empowerment-tickets
