Children create their own movement material, building ensemble performances alongside tiny-but-mighty solos that celebrate individuality, confidence and joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Powered by MHz\u2019s technical wizardry, each final sharing transforms the school space with big sound, live lighting, VJ visuals, bespoke props and serious strutting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Project<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">STRUT Kids creates an inclusive space where children can play, take risks and feel part of something bigger.
