Day Ten - Lyric writing

All ten young people were in today - third day running!!!! We welcomed back Cheyenne - a graduate from last year and he supported Rory and Kymel with the lyric writing workshops. It was a pleasure to have him back :-) A good day writing with the young people especially as we were all surviving on only a few hours sleep! Lots of great lyrics written today, will get some of the YP to write their lyrics on Monday in our blog.  All of the young people were able to memorise their lyrics and share with the rest of the group.  A tiring week but we are 2/3 in, so WELL done!!! Hope everyone has a good weekend and I look forward to seeing you all on Monday! x (Linda)

By Mark Clare..
The other day I was walking down the street listening to a beat
it was dark I was trying to creep, trying to sneak on a dude who is a freak
my aim was to rob his f***ing jeep because it looked so neat
I was getting heat from the feds life's becoming deep


Really impressed by the level of input put in by the young people at summer arts today, wish i could work with them again in the future. all pieces of lyric writing are brilliant and the young people should be proud of what they produced because lyric writing can be a very hard and frustration process. ---- Kymel Austin (UMF)

Day Nine - Part B London Southbank

Okay day nine WHAT A DAY IT WAS. The SA crew hit London South Bank and watch some street art even though it was raining it was fun and educational. We also got to see a very cool looking skate park and watch some skateboarders bust out some tricks. We also saw a very impressive group of parcore free runners. After that the fun and laughter really begins as we sat and watched James Corden live in the national theartre as he stars in the amazing play ''One Man, Two Guvnors''. We also had one or two minor accidents Jake fell over. we got on the wrong train. but my personal highlight of the day was being out and about with everyone, me and Jake doing are free running back to the train station. :)

 

Well done to all 10 young people that made today - it was great that we were all together (apart from a poorly Tim - we missed you!) the trip to the Southbank and seeing the show will count towards our Part B.

Day Eight - Part C

Half way there! - All ten young people were in today :-) WELL done!!!!!!


Today was all about Part C - researching an artist they admire - the young people then created a poster from their research and shared with the rest of the group. 

Off to London tomorrow, so young people get a well deserved lie in! Blog from the train home tomorrow!
