Parade: The Giant Wheel

Parade: The Giant Wheel

Autin Dance Theatre are bringing Parade – The Giant Wheel to the streets of Newcastle-under-Lyme town centre on Saturday 22 June.

Parade – The Giant Wheel is a moving performance inspired by the beauty, power, and impact of people from different walks of life coming together, featuring a 12-foot-tall Giant Wheel powered by 6 street artists and accompanied by music and a large community cast of local groups and individual performers.

Come and see the wheel take over the town at 12.30pm & 2.30pm, starting at Queen’s Gardens, Newcastle. 

How do I become a community cast member? 

Autin Dance’s engaging workshops offer the chance to learn accessible and enjoyable group movements that you’ll perform as part of the live show right here in Newcastle-under-Lyme. 

Together with Autin Dance Theatre, you’ll explore various movements as well as being invited to share your personal stories and experiences related to community themes. 

All workshops are accessible for individuals with diverse mobility and access needs.
