Discover Arts Award – latest community projects from the Everyman Theatre
The Everyman Theatre Education and Community team has been involved in running Arts Award for many years, from Discover through to Gold level. And most recently, they have taken Arts Award Discover to new audiences by integrating the awards into 2 creative community projects. The first of these was a collaboration between a local artist and a theatre company commissioned by The Everyman called “Displaced Child”.
Taking Arts Award online in Gloucestershire #LoveArtsAward
Through the chaos of last year we saw an opportunity. What if we could deliver Arts Award digitally and engage families creatively while they were at home? Wouldn’t that be a great resource for now but also long term, giving us the ability to reach young people who might not otherwise have access? We all agreed it was.
This is how we came together to collectively explore and test out new ways to deliver it.
TwoCan even in lockdown!
TwoCan theatre have been working with arts awards for over 10 years and has supported hundreds of young people at all five arts awards levels. We caught up with Louise Partridge, one of TwoCans founders to find out how the group adjusted to life during lockdown and how they used arts award to recognise and celebrate the creative output of the group through ‘lockdown challenges’.
