BLAST – is an innovative project designed for local transition year students, incorporating a fun approach to creating and performing dance. In collaboration with Garter Lane Arts Centre, over eight weeks in 2008, three local schools had the chance to develop new skills and showcase their dance masterpiece complete with lights and costumes at the prestigious Garter Lane. Although the project caters for the students creative and performance needs, they were also lucky enough to be given an in depth tutorial of the technical and administrative aspects of the theatre on a visit to Garter Lane Arts Centre prior to the special performance. Each school group had a six-week devising period allowing for the development of self-confidence, communication skills, and teamwork, skills that are central to the aims of transition year modules. On the final visit to the theatre, the schools came together to perform each piece in a fantastic culmination of the BLAST project. The schools that took part were Newtown, St. Josephs and Stella Maris (Tramore). |
