Who are Southside Producers?

Southside Producers are a group of passionate young people from Birmingham who curate, plan and run various events for young creatives. 

Our previous event was to create a festival to launch Birmingham City Council's 'Year of the Arts for Young People' (YAY16), in partnership with the Old Rep Theatre, Beatfreeks and MAIA Creatives. On Friday 19th February 2016, Birmingham saw the city's arts organisations and creative individuals come together to celebrate what creative opportunities Birmingham has to offer and showcase Birmingham's greatest young talent.

The event ran from 2pm – 9pm, and ranged from stalls, workshops, panel discussions, open mics, open jams, networking opportunities and a showcase. During the event, Southside Producers encouraged the public to create, participate and experience, in order for them to fulfil the aims of ‘Year of the Arts for Young People’. All aims were met, and the event was a success!

We have a lot of exciting events coming up including; a pre and post show event to the Broke 'n' Beat Collective, called 'Before The Edge' part of the On The Edge festival tour, and a cultural music and food evening called 'Music Menu'. Watch this space to find out more!

Southside Producers is delivered by The Old Rep and Beatfreeks, in association with MAIA Creatives. The group meet every Wednesday at the Old Rep Theatre.
