Excellent work tonight by Dream to Screen group and our breakout arts Rotherham Youth theatre who came together to do their ‘superpower’ performance for parents and invited guests. That involved both groups and a group of older participants who filmed segments. Song lyrics by the participants.

Drinks and snacks were had by all!

Saturday extended workshop day with staff from Breakout Arts working with young people ages 7 up to 18 to explore and find out from them what their every day super powers are.
What things stress them and what about their own skills and approaches to life gets them through.
They mentioned their listening skills, their ability to make friends laugh, their interests, their creativity, music, sports, kindness and much more.
We’ve all got something that gets us through, no matter who we are-
Sometimes it’s good to remind each other and ourselves.
We’ve been busy filming, writing short script ideas, creating songs and putting together a short show that reflects their ideas. We all had food together too! Friendships have been developed and confidence boosted! A lovely mix of youngsters enjoying themselves and sharing. Next long session is Weds of half term where our two groups come together with any Newbies. We have groups funded by Universal Youth work and this project funded by Ccoc /arts
Council and Wentworth Preservation trust.
