Carnival, design and engineering came together as RJC Dance Youth Provision group Shahck Out Boyz and Shahck Out Youth Dance member Yanique performed at @lightnightleeds 2026, with costumes designed and created by @universityofleeds Mechanical Engineering Department and @highesteemdesigns alongside RJC Dance Youth Provision alumni Owen, Luke and Angel.
Astralis ‘Of the Stars’, reimagined Greek mythology through movement, music and light. Celestial warriors and scorpions became part of a spectacle exploring our fascination with the night sky and the connections between creativity, nature and technology.

Sustainable Symposium Success 🌿💚
Thank you to everyone who joined RJC Dance and Mango Arts at the Mandela Centre on Saturday 24 October for our Sustainable & Green Carnival Arts Symposium.
It was a unique opportunity to exchange ideas about greener Carnival practices and consider how we support the next generation to keep these traditions thriving.
These conversations are vital to the future of Carnival arts and this was just the beginning. Thank you to our speakers, performers, contributors, attendees, Arts Council England and everyone who brought their experience and enthusiasm.
