ARTISTIC PROGRAMME - URBAN MUSIC THEATRE PROJECT
We're interested in reaching out to young people from across Manchester to give them the opportunity to get involved in a highly creative process and to create new work that will enable them to excel. The project will be strong on process and will encourage cross collaboration, cultural exchange, communication, integration and positive representations of young people. The 'Urban Music Theatre' project is being developed through workshops in 5 specialist art forms led by experienced facilitators/artists and supported by trainee artists to shape ideas through a wide range of mediums including; Street and break dance, African dance, music-making, drama and the moving image. This project aims to access young people of refugee and asylum seeker backgrounds as well excluded young people from local host communities. CAN recognises that young people need opportunities to communicate ideas about their identity in a space that is safe and empowering. We are keen to create work that brings young people together to share, learn and enjoy themselves, to create work that challenges as well as celebrates representations of Greater Manchester's young people. If you're interested in getting involved please contact Michelle
