Identity & Voice
A collaborative community schools project which will see our creative professionals working with 3 primary and secondary schools in Crawley to produce a temporary sculpture which will be showcased in Crawley Town Centre in late spring 2024. The students will be given the opportunity to work with renowned local sculptor Helen Solly and soundscape artist and freelance facilitator Charlie Essex
The project will explore how the students see themselves, their place within the community and the wider world and will offer a platform to share and express their collective voice.
Creative Learning Opportunities with our schools programme
Autumn 2023
Throughout the term Creative County West Sussex (CCWS) has been delivering 4 workshops each week, with students at New Barn School in Horsham, towards a sharing at the end of the term. 52 workshops have been delivered exploring puppetry, creative writing, physical theatre and general drama skills and more.
CCWS has also visited Felpham Community College to support GCSE performing arts students with devising, improvisation, Shakespeare and physical theatre skills which contribute toward their GCSE exams in 2024.
At St Philip Howard Catholic School we enjoyed working with year 9 & 10 students with improvisation and ensemble work, helping the students to develop their own voice along with skills in working as a team.
We have also been working with Arts Leaders at Manor Green College on a puppetry project about Heroes. This work will be shared at their Winter Lights Festival in December.
“We have absolutely loved having Liam to work with our Arts Leaders! He has been an absolute joy, full of enthusiasm, joy and encouragement for our young people. They have all grown in their confidence and improved their listening and collaboration skills. They are so excited to take home their puppets as a momento of the project which has been very special, and I'm sure an experience they will remember for many years to come.” Manor Green College, Lead Teacher
