Buzz!

We are delivering a programme of activity called Buzz! which includes projects of various structures, relies heavily on consultation and will lead to a Gala Performance on 9 and 10 July.  Buzz! is composed of the following:

- Work with disabled young people, those who have self-excluded from school, and those affected by domestic abuse or mental health issues.  Each of these strands of Buzz! takes a slightly different shape – these were defined by the young people taking part

- All of the participants will have the opportunity to work towards a Bronze Arts Award 

- A gala showcase for all of the above 

- A Young Person’s Steering Group to influence the direction and legacy of the project 

- A leadership project which will allow the most enthusiastic participants from the groups above to develop their skills by learning how to deliver their own workshops. This group will also have the opportunity to work towards a Silver Arts Award

Arts Champions

We are looking forward to another fantastic cross-art project in partnership with Town Hall & Symphony Hall and the Edgbaston Constituency. This year’s project will again see three artists – a filmmaker, musician and dance artist – working with an intergenerational group to create a work of screen dance with an original soundtrack. The project will premiere its film in Edgbaston in Spring 2010.
