	Youth Drama Project posted 23/07/2008
	Lhanbryde Community Challenge
	Lhanbryde Community Challenge (LCC) wishes to establish a Youth Drama Project in Lhanbryde Community Centre. To “kickstart” this project it is proposed to run 10 weekly sessions from Friday 19th September culminating in a showcase event on 5th December. During the October break (13th – 24th October) there will be the possibility of additional sessions which are dependent on funding being sourced. If further funding is not available the project will not meet during the October holidays. There will be two sessions each Friday. The first session will be for P5 – 7 and will meet 3.15pm – 4.15pm. The second session is for S1 – 4 and will meet 4.30pm – 6.00pm. Each session will have a maximum of 20 places. LCC now seeks an individual or organisation to run this 10 week project. The individual or organisation should have a track record in working in drama/theatre with young people. A fee of £1,000 is offered (including travel expenses). It is hoped that there may be a small additional budget to bring in expertise in dance, singing etc for one-off sessions. For the group to be sustainable it will be necessary to involve parents/carers and other interested adults from the community. To help develop this aspect of the project, sessions for adults who express an interest in helping to run the group will be offered. These sessions may cover topics such as production techniques eg lighting design. The sessions will be open to interested adults and young people from the area. Appointment will be subject to an enhanced Disclosure (Scotland) check. Expressions of interest, which should include an outline of your approach to the project, should be sent by Monday 11th August to: Aya Iguchi, Arts Development Worker Moray Council Milne’s Primary School annexe Fochabers IV32 7EP Tel: 01343 829026 Email: aya.iguchi@moray.gov.uk This project has received funding from Highland 2007.
