Imagineer’s engagement programme, Transformations returns in November 2024 with two brand new specialisms hosted by our partners, Media Mania and Autin Dance Theatre.
Are you interested in Sound Design and hoping for a career that would make use of that skill? If you’re aged 18-35 and not currently in employment, training or education, then this opportunity is for YOU!
Over the course of November, you’ll be exploring sound design through practical workshops with our experts. You’ll have a real creative brief and get real work experience to add to your portfolio, as both specialisms work collaboratively on a performance piece, to be showcased during our winter takeover event, ‘Lighting up the Powerhouse’.
We are actively seeking those who experience barriers to access or develop within the arts and creative industries. We celebrate diversity and equality in our programming, participants, delivery and recruitment.
Specialism 1: Sound Design with Media Mania
Goal: Across a series of six workshops in the first two weeks of November, participants will produce a high-quality piece of sound design that will serve as the musical foundation for the aerial performance. This process will involve sound recording, editing and experimenting with different audio techniques and playback. The finished sound piece will be used to inspire and inform the choreography of the aerial performers and soundtrack the final performance.Transformations is a free creative programme that supports young people to build the skills and confidence they need to go on to employment, training or further education – created and led by Imagineer Productions in Coventry.
The Takeover Event: Lighting up the Powerhouse
Let there be light! On Wed 4 Dec, Transformations will host ‘Lighting up the Powerhouse’, a takeover of Daimler Powerhouse, opening the space to Coventry’s youth communities. Young, diverse creatives will activate the building through assorted music, visuals, performances and immersive activities. The immersive event takes ‘light’ as its theme – as both a nod to Christmas and the act of illuminating the talents of local young people. We’re symbolically and physically ‘Lighting up the Powerhouse’ and reflecting the creativity and energy of Coventry’s young community.
Sound Design Key Dates:
- 4-6 Nov 9.30am-3.30pm
- 11-13 Nov 9.30am-3.30pm

Transformations is aimed at 18 to 35-year-olds who may not currently be in education, employment or training. We are actively seeking those who experience barriers to access or development within the arts and creative industries. We celebrate diversity and equality in our programming, participants, delivery and recruitment.
