Register now for OCTAVE - A cross-arts project for young people with learning disabilities

Octave: A cross-arts project for young people aged 13-19 with learning disabilities.

From February - June 2013 a cross-arts project, Octave, will begin with weekly sessions on Monday afternoons (in school hours) working with a group of young people aged 13-19 with learning disabilities.

Through weekly, 2 hour sessions (taking place, primarily, in the Howard Assembly Room at Opera North) we will work with a small group of young people, culminating with a relaxed performance for friends and family of the participants.

As part of the sessions the young people will work with two professional artists (a director and a composer) on high quality singing, song-writing, dialogue, script, simple design, music and movement activities.

We are keen to hear from young people interested in the arts and who are unable to engage in mainstream activities due to their learning disability.

Whether you are an individual, school, SILC, support group or interested family member, please get in touch to receive more information about the project and to register your interest. The cut-off date for registering interest is Friday 21 December 2012.
