Bibi Rukiya Performance Forum Lab – Birmingham Amina Khayyam Dance Company's third instalment of the Women-Only Performance Forum will be held on Thursday 8th May 2025 at the Patrick Studio, Birmingham Hippodrome – three weeks before the main production – 22nd/23rd May 2025. AKDC ‘s Performance Forums enable and manifest the theme of the production on those on whom it is targeted; engaging professional artists with ordinary, the least engaged – women to be creatively expressive and enabled. The Birmingham Performance Forum culminates in the work of seven women's groups and four girls' schools, who have come together weekly over 26 workshops from January to April, with a break in March due to Ramadan. With over 170 participants, this gathering is a testament to the power of collaboration, connection, and empowerment that embodies AKDC’s work. In this edition, a short excerpt of BiBi Rukiya’s Reckless Daughter will be presented. It draws inspiration from The House of Bernarda Alba by Spanish playwright Federico García Lorca. This powerful reimagining explores themes of control, repression, and liberation, echoing the intense emotional drama of Lorca’s classic, while adding a contemporary sensitivity that resonates with today’s audiences. Through the lens of Kathak dance with its storytelling vocabulary and movement, BiBi Rukiya’s Reckless Daughter examines the complexities of familial relationships, societal expectations, and the personal desire for freedom. Here, in the professional space of Birmingham Hippodrome’s Patrick Studio, with over 170 participants, these women and girls share their stories, perspectives, and creative experiences from the culmination of three months of workshops. These women and girls have created a space to amplify their voices, challenge boundaries, and showcase their unique stories. AKDC proudly honours this remarkable journey, as the performance forum not only reflects individual creativity and talent but fosters a collective spirit of community and solidarity. On this special event, the stage will come alive with the vibrant energy of women supporting women, affirming the power and beauty of womanhood, including short excerpts of the performance of BiBi Rukiya’s Reckless Daughter adding depth to this celebration, inviting audiences to reflect on the challenges and triumphs of the women who have walked this path before us. It will be a unique inter-generational event, where young women will see their mothers dancing and become role-models – a celebration of the strength, resilience, and creativity of women and girls.

It is the oldest and most famous theatre in Birmingham and the main theatre of the Birmingham Royal Ballet. For music fans who know how to appreciate it, of course, the right way to open it is to watch a performance. We are just here to see this historic building.

We made a dedicated trip and had a lovely few hours. There was lots to see with split levels that kept your interest. The penguins were nice, the octopus made an appearance and we would have loved to see more of the otters., we see the otters.. There is plenty to see, read and touch. My grand daughter loved it all, the turtle in the tunnel is beautiful . It was clean, and we had a great time, would definitely go back, staff were helpful,its really nice and deserve to be visited again and again.

For a smaller town the Art Museum as great. We really enjoyed our visit and would recommend it if you are traveling to Birmingham. Make sure to call ahead to see if they are open.

Victoria Square, Birmingham

放飞自我去游玩

After we dropped off our luggage at the hotel, we had a big meal at a Michelin one-star restaurant, and then we began to get to know the city. First we came to Victoria Square, where a building imitating a Greek temple caught our eye. It turned out to be their town hall. Next to it was a beautiful Baroque building, the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, which was also free to visit. So we went in for a stroll. There were not many people, and the exhibits were quite rich, ranging from ancient Egypt to current art.

Chinese Quarter

There are Chinese Super League, restaurants, and many other specialty restaurants to choose from.
It&#39;s not hard to find something to eat here.
However, the food at this restaurant was a bit disappointing.
