Carnival Week: 5–13 July 2008
Community Arts Development was delighted to get involved in the Crowthorne Carnival 2008. We worked with professional carnival arts company ‘Street Processions’ to create a month long creative project at Edgbarrow Youth Centre and School. Participants took part in professional arts, dance, and DJ workshops, which culminated in the creation of their 1st Prize entry for the Youth Category in the procession. Plans have already begun to work with the Carnival Committee and Street Processions towards an even bigger and better Carnival in 2010, so watch this space!
More information on the fantastic 2008 Crowthorne Carnival can be found on the committee’s website.
Young Carers Project
May 2008 saw the culmination of a six week drama taster project with BFVA's Young Carer's club. Participants worked with Dave Farey from Troublemaker Theatre Company to learn a range of drama skills together. The image shows the project from week three where they learned to recreate wounds and injuries using special effects make up (no young carers were harmed in this project!). As a result of this taster session a week long Summer School was held for the Junior and Senior members of the Young Carers Clubs where they created a series of plays based on 'Twisted Fairy Tales'. This was performed to family and friends at Bracknell Drama Club at the end of the week.
