About the show
Fatima and Salima are the closest, coolest, hijabi step-sisters in all of Bradford and they will win the Tiny is Mighty skateboarding competition, there is no doubt about it.
They’ve practised every trick in the book, and look (almost) as good as Sky Brown on the telly, just check out their YouTube Channel if you’re not convinced. Nothing will stop them. Except their parents have started whispering in the kitchen about living apart… about moving to different cities… only seeing each other in school holidays. How will they perfect their routine and win gold if their whole lives are about to turn 360 too? Only the greatest super plan ever concocted will help them achieve their dreams.
Inspired by real-life skateboarding sisters Layna, Maysa and Amaya, and their hero Olympic Medallist Sky Brown.
A Polka Theatre, AIK and Turtle Key Arts production.

Directed by Ameera Conrad
About the workshop
In this 30 minute post-show assembly workshop, your pupils will get the chance to work with Fatima and Salima to reflect upon the events of the production. Together, they’ll explore different types of change and how we respond to them, before working together to create a bank of positive actions to take when faced with difficult changes in their lives.

Feedback from 2025 school's tour
“The actor leading the workshop was INCREDIBLE with our students. They were all very engaged and enthusiastic. Lots of positive feedback from the children who attended and enjoyed the workshop.”
“Every student stayed to watch the entire show which is rare with our students they were very engaged and it was clearly an enjoyable experience for them.”
“It was wonderful for [the students] to engage with theatre beyond the classroom and for them to connect what is happening in the classroom to professionals, and for many it was their first experience of live theatre.”
“AMAZING! – We want you back for the next show!”
