Inspire Online

Project start date: August 01, 2020

Are you an up and coming musician or a young artist, passionate about music and dance? Would you like to learn a new skill, or improve your existing skills? Maybe you would just like to have a go at something new and have some fun. Throughout August we will be running online creative workshops for young people aged 11-25 in singing, music production, DJing, songwriting & performance, MCing & poetry, movement & dance on Zoom. The workshops will be for small groups and we can also deliver some one to one sessions, if required. The workshops will be led by experienced professionals.
