Going Inside
This week All Play have the opportunity to work with young women in HMP Foston Hall, Derbyshire. Invited by Charnwood Arts (a Leicestershire based company), we will use our piece 'It's Rude to Point' as a starting point to develop work with the participants. Our time with them will contribute towards their pursuit of an Arts Award.
In March, All Play, a photographer and a music composer worked in collaboration with Creative Partnerships in Lindsworth School (where pupils are statemented with emotional and behavioural problems). The project 'Impossible Moments' allowed the participants to choreograph airborne sequences which were captured on camera accompanied by a soundtrack they composed for themselves. They later taught the skills they'd learned to pupils from Allen Croft Primary School (where we did a residency at the end of 2007). The project was a real success and put the girls at Lindsworth in the right direction to achieve their Arts Awards.
It is always a pleasure to facilitate and then stand back and watch the levels of creative ability shown by participants who may have failed in social or working contexts. We hope to enjoy such moments in Foston Hall.
