On Diwali day 2019 BBC Radio Leicester held an Open Day featuring tours of the station, an exhibition of dance costumes (see pic below) and traditional dance performances by the Centre for Indian Classical Dance (CICD). My film features a few of the traditional dances performed in the reception area of the radio station. A design promoting the event was also created by myself and was displayed in and around the station on the day and can be seen below. Happy Diwali to all celebrating.

Now in its fith year the Indian Summer Festival is a 10 day festival bringing South Asian sights,sounds,arts and culture to the streets and venues of Leicester. The festival kicked off in style outside BBC Radio Leicester in Jubilee Square with a public launch featuring live music and performances from BotownHQ, The D-E-A (Dhol Enforcement Agency) Laughter Yoga Enter Edem and more BBC Radio Leicester's Rupal Rajani was live on air from the event interviewing the various performers and was later joined by other Presenters and Staff from the station plus Captain pop and a large blue monster for a Bangra dance performance bringing the launch to a fun and energetic finale. My film aims to capture some of the atmosphere of the event and give a flavor of what this exiting festival has to offer.
