Exploring the use of the voice through music, film, song, art and performance, Barbican Weekender brings the centre alive with a weekend of events from artists, performers, choirs, poets, beatboxers, storytellers and interactive installations. From Shakespeare to Grime, London is bursting at the seams with fascinating stories, and the Barbican Foyers will be filled with opportunities to get inspired. So if you fancy taking dance classes with the award-winning Boy Blue Entertainment or giving your vocal chords a workout in a free opera workshop, take part and you be in with a chance of performing on the Barbican stage. With all this and much, much more going on, you'll be hard pressed no remain un-entertained. For information on the weekend line-up, please visit www.barbican.org.uk/weekender.About Barbican Centre
