Dance 

Transform 06: KF worked with 25 students from the John Cabot Academy . The students were considered to be at risk of exclusion or lacking in personal confidence.

 
 
What did we do?
 

Working through Dance, graffiti art, film and circus skills the group worked towards a performance at the end of the week. During the first 2 days the group were given the opportunity to try out each art form and search for their hidden talents.  Over the final three days the group worked on developing, writing and rehearsing for a performance to friends and family.  During the week the group were given short workshops on issues relating to their lives such as personal impact and spheres of influence.

 
 
What did we achieve?
 

The whole group felt proud of what they had achieved a great deal and that it had a positive impact on their work at school and home life.
