‘Acting Up’ Summer Camp
16-19 August 2015
This Summer Camp was funded under the OFMDFM TBUC programme and aimed to engage young people with a passion for Drama in a cross community project with good relations at the core. The group included 20 young people New Lodge Arts and Newtownabbey Arts & Cultural Network Theatre Company. The project included Drama Workshops, Teambuilding and Outdoor activities.
The main element of this programme was a 4-day residential to Newcastle. During the trip, the young people took part in a range of activities including Bouldering, High Ropes, Laser Tag, Teambuilding games, Drama workshops, Dance workshops and Physical Theatre.
The group had an amazing experience on the residential and it was clear to see the positive impact of using arts a as a tool for bringing people from different cultures together.
The group are currently working towards two showcase events at Culture Night Belfast and Culture Night Glengormley in September.
