Creative Arts Community Hub

多年来，FE学院提供成人教育，由工人教育协会等团体提供。可悲的是，现在情况已经不是这样了。你再也不可能在不参加长期课程和支付巨额费用的情况下继续教育自己和拓宽你的视野。这就是我们的项目进来.......我们的愿景是创建一个充满活力的社区艺术中心-提供包容性的课程和活动，包括表演和视觉艺术，以那些经常被忽视的社区：* 老年人-第三年龄学习者的计划，包括创意写作，回忆录写作，电影制作，唱歌，表演，喜剧，播客 * 单亲父母-活动包括音乐剧，电影制作介绍，绘画和素描-欢迎学龄前儿童 * LGBQT戏剧工作坊 * 神经多样性戏剧工作坊在过去的25年里，我们一直在培训人们作为专业演员工作，但.....我们是一所有特色的戏剧学校我们的精神是保持低fess和运行在晚上和周末课程，让人们可以赚钱/照顾他们的家庭，同时再培训。而且它有效！我们目前有三名毕业生在伦敦西区和许多其他人在行业的各个部门工作。我们最近扩大了我们的处所，现在有一个高度可见的“店面”在布莱顿最繁忙的街道之一，所以很多人一直在询问他们可以参加什么课程，这就是促使这个创新项目。我们希望通过向整个社区提供机会来回应这一需求，为所有人提供课程，而不仅仅是那些想要专业培训的人。特别是被边缘化或被排斥的人-我们的研究表明，我们家门口有一个很大的问题，就是孤立和孤独，特别是对于60多岁的人，单亲父母，神经多样性的人和那些没有工作的人。在我们的社区内，明显缺乏获得这种艺术资源的机会，我们相信我们是为我们的社区创造一个繁荣的艺术中心的合适人选。我们有梦幻般的工作室和设施，只在晚上使用，所以我们想打开白天的访问，提供包容性的课程以及免费的日间活动，如现场播放阅读，声学音乐，艺术展览，主题测验，带宝宝讲故事。所有这些都发生在我们温暖，热情的咖啡馆周围，由经验丰富的导师领导，他们创造了安全和支持的环境，人们在其中学习，探索和发展他们的创造潜力。

For many years, Adult Education was available in FE colleges & offered by groups such as the Workers' Educational Association. Sadly, that is no longer the case. It's no longer possible to continue educating yourself & broadening your horizons without having to commit to long courses and pay huge fees. Which is where our project comes in.......Our vision is to create a dynamic Community Arts Hub - offering inclusive classes & activities across Performing & Visual Arts to those often overlooked in our neighbourhood:* older people - a programme for Third Age Learners including Creative Writing, Memoir Writing, Film-making, Singing, Acting, Comedy, Podcasting* single parents - activities including Musical Theatre, Intro to Film-making, Drawing & Sketching - with pre-schoolers welcome* LGBQT theatre workshop* Neurodiverse theatre workshopFor the past 25 years, we've been training people to work as professional actors but.....we're a Drama School with a twist. Our ethos is to maintain low fess & run courses during evenings & weekends so people can earn money/take care of their family, whilst retraining. And it works! We currently have three Graduates in the West End & many others working across all sectors of the Industry.We've recently expanded our premises & now have a highly visible 'shopfront' on one of Brighton's busiest streets so lots of people have been popping in to ask what classes they can take part in & that's what prompted this innovative project. We want to respond to this need by offering access to the whole community, providing classes for all, not just those wanting to train professionally. Especially marginalised or excluded people - our research shows there is a big problem with isolation & loneliness right on our doorstep, especially for over 60's, single parents, neuro-diverse people & those without work.There is a distinct lack of access to such Arts resources within our neighbourhood & we are confident that we are the right people to create a thriving Arts Hub working for our community. We have fantastic Studios & facilities which are only used in the evenings, so we want to open up daytime access, offering inclusive classes as well as free daytime events such as live play-readings, acoustic music, art exhibitions, themed quizzes, Bring Baby Storytelling. All taking place around our warm, welcoming cafe, led by experienced tutors who create safe & supportive settings wherein people learn, explore & grow their creative potential.
