What do young people need? and who can give it to them?

GIFTED-A LOOK BACK OVER THE MONTHS

Hi all..Its been ages.  However its been worth the wait.

The GIFTED Showcase was great!! Everyone worked really well and performed their socks off!!

It was amazing to see it all come together and if you didn’t get a chance or you did and you would like to see an adapted, fresh, and fun staging of play and performances, come down to STYLE OF WRYTING’S Premiere Hollywood-Staging of Songs from 6 Major Musicals- It will be a great night out for all of the family!

Hi again. Check out these amazing pictures of the extra sessions MIGHTY ran over Easter......a new project coming soon CREATE. It was so much fun, (although messy) and I got some amazing feedback. The guys brought in pumps, vests, t shirts, hoodies and customised their socks off. Marsha Edwards, the fashionista, great designer from London was great (check out her blog www.sweetmecouture.blogspot.com) and she'll be helping MIGHTY out again for costumes and uniforms for the event over the next few weeks. They all loved her as well, she had them designing away and they took it so seriously and left with something they could wear!! The second week they all painted on canvasses, all pertaining to being GIFTED, or to do with 'the arts'. This was a lot of fun, (another messy session-I had no apron but thank God I left as clean as I came in) and great to see them loving being creative and coming up with innovative designs and using quotes.

Looking forward to doing this project again....soon!!!

G.I.F.T.E.D.

Wow feels like it has been forever!! So much has happened over the last 9 weeks.....everything from face painting to music production, customising to play writing, acting to salsa, singing to poetry. We have crammed so much into this project and with so much on offer it is a major success. The young people are 'gifted' just like I knew they would be and they and everyone involved are really working hard. The Showcase event is coming up soon but we still have another 6 weeks worth of sessions not to mention another 7 after the event to prepare for The Grove Theatre-Style of Wrytings Hollywood Night. Hard work pays off so I know these young people will shine like the stars they are!!!

Imagine A World Where 1 in 3 People Walked In Love

AS MUMMA USED TO SAY…LIFE IS PRECIOUS

I have found it so interesting the last couple of weeks working with the young people who have come into the GIFTED project.

They all have different personalities;funny, quiet, loud, happy, bubbly, shy. However they are all special. In this LIFE all children need to know is that they are SPECIAL!! This is the Foundation (key word) that stands them in good stead to move forward onto a progressive, successful adult life. Obviously, with being told you’re special, you need the good role models, so much love, support and rules in place to ensure that you become a grounded person with morals and self control.

However seeing all of these different talented young people it made me think about LIFE..how quickly it goes…nearing 30 and it feels like I was 11 not so long ago myself…not to take LIFE for granted and to remember those less fortunate then myself! And very importantly, to ensure every young person I know or come into contact with leaves if not already, knowing how SPECIAL they are and how Special their LIFE is!!
