The pop-up show is inspired by the sculptures at the Milton Keynes University Hospital art collection.
Working in collaboration with Arts for Health Milton Keynes
(AfHMK) and the MKUH Play Team, the show has been co-created with patients at MKUH and keeps choice at the centre of the work. Children can choose which sculpture they want to see brought to life through dance.
︎The sculptures that couldn’t keep still location map:
Working with
Addison Design, the team have produced a location map of the featured sculptures. Participants are invited to follow the trail to discover the sculptures around the hospital - encouraging them to discover the Art Collection, step outside of their ward, and go on their own creative adventure.
Participants access the map via a printed postcard, which also includes creative activities on the reverse that can be completed bedside, sparking imagination and inspiration long after the show has finished - bringing an added legacy to their performances.

Performances will continue across the children’s wards and
paediatric areas into Spring 2026, offering more young
patients the chance to take part.
Missed the performance but would still like to complete the activity?
