In October 2019, the award-winning new musical Eye of the Storm came to the Patrick Studio.
Schools from our Hippodrome Education Network (HEN) took part in a songwriting competition inspired by the production.
The schools came to the Hippodrome to see the show and then participated in songwriting workshops back at school with a Hippodrome practitioner. All the songs responded to the themes and topics covered in the musical: climate change, extreme weather conditions and changing the world!
The songs were recorded and entered into a competition.
