Description
We are a theatre and arts group [Scottish Registered Charity] who would like £1000 to deliver a series of accessible Theatre & Arts Masterclasses over Spring 2025 for children and young people in the Three Towns to build confidence in performance and communication, and promoting positive health and wellbeing in young people through social interactions and feeling a sense of learning and achievement.
After consultations with our current youth theatre participants, we have identified the need and want for further arts opportunities in the area that offer a professional level of training in a particular area of performance or artform, especially during school holidays. Our Masterclass series would offer a series of 2-hour long professional masterclasses for children and young people in areas like Clowning, Circus Skills, Mask Making and Performance, Musical Theatre. The workshops will improve skills and spark interests for our young people in specific artistic areas, promoting a variety of creative pathways, whilst having fun with like-minded peers in a non-judgmental, supported environment that is accessible for those on the poverty line. All masterclasses are provided at a subsidised low cost for participants - £2 per workshop - and payment plans can be discussed with participants if appropriate. It is our aim that this project will provide young people the opportunity to develop and enhance their confidence and skills while exploring new areas of experience. Young people will build upon creative performance and artistic skills in a way that they will feel confident seeking further education and training in this area should they choose. They will go away feeling a strong sense of achievement and community having spent time with like-minded peers and being treated as professionals by our established and experience freelance facilitators and staff.
Please note this is not the full cost of the project [which is £2000 total]. Other costs such as insurances, admin, materials, core staff etc will be met out of Triple Act reserves and will match the grant award.
