Wonder Arts are delighted to share that they are receiving funding from National Lottery Community Fund to deliver a new project; with the YMCA as part of their Communities of Wonder programme of activities.
They are partnering with a group of young people at the new YMCA Youth Hub in St Helens. During consultation, the group have told us they are interested in lyric writing, music and dance.
They are looking to work with a DJ, musician and / or dancer to engage with the group over 16 sessions to co-create this artwork. The final piece should incorporate a vibrant, positive and family-friendly message. Experience of youth workshop facilitation is essential.
Fee
The fee to deliver this project is £1,750; this includes planning time, workshop delivery and performance. There is a separate materials budget of up to £550 with ethically sourced materials at the heart. .
Timescales & Schedule
The 16 sessions will run on Wednesdays from 6th November –12th March* 6-7.30pm with a celebration event and sharing during the final session. (*Excluding 25th December, 1st January and 19th February.)
