A new, festive show for families from world-renowned dance-circus company Motionhouse comes to Midlands Arts Centre from Fri 17 Nov to Sat 30 Dec 2023.
Blast off into the galaxy with the Starchitects, an adventurous group of friends who leave their cosy sleepover to embark on a daring rescue mission.
With a mix of gravity-defying choreography, amazing digital projections, and magical characters for you to meet, Starchitects Save Santa! is a visual spectacle like no other.
The Birmingham PressMotionhouse bounce and tumble into Christmas in this energetic and exuberant show for young children
Dive into the magic of childhood imagination where anything is possible… when the empty boxes from Christmas presents can transform into a rocket and take you on countless thrilling adventures.
Full of fun and surprises, and sprinkled with humour, Starchitects Save Santa! is an exciting intergalactic Christmas story the whole family will enjoy.
The show is perfect for the whole family - from tiny tots to primary aged children and older siblings, parents and grandparents.
From £12.50 (schools). Standard tickets from £18.50 (from £16.50 for under 16s).
Drama TotsMy two young children were simply transfixed by what they were watching. This is a gorgeous little story depicted in such a way that words are unnecessary
Relaxed and BSL performances available
Relaxed events at MAC are designed to improve the experience for people with Autistic Spectrum conditions, sensory, motor and communication disorders, learning disabilities and anyone who would benefit from a more adapted environment.
The main lights remain on, the volume is reduced, and we hope you’ll feel comfortable to remain inside should you need to make noises or move involuntarily. We sometimes offer a pre-show introduction to the venue and performers, signalling anything that may be big, loud, or unexpected.
If you need a break, you can speak to our staff and they will point you towards a quiet area to relax.
Seeing DanceStarchitects Save Santa! doesn’t just fizz, it explodes into an hour of great fun. I smiled and grinned from start to finish.

Commissioned by Midlands Arts Centre. In association with Bluestone National Park Resort.
