Become a Star will collaborate with the local youth offending service team to create an intensive project that aims to re- engage and inspire young people through the medium of drama.
The young people will be aged 13-19 years of age they will be “NEET” meaning Not in Education, Employment or Training.
Become a Star will work with all out participants over the course of three months, out of the project will be a two day performance, which will be the very own work of all the young people who attended, allowing them to perform at Arts Depots intimate studio theatre before friends and family and our special guests who will also receive an invite.
‘BAS’ feel like working together as a professional company will have a positive effect on the young people life skills, such as the importants of being on time when working as a collective team, being focused, having determination to be creative, trust other people they’re working with as it may well be the first time meeting each other, and hopefully by performing they will defiantly be able to collaborate and celebrate their hard working achievements.
‘BAS’ have previously carried out a similar project last year called ignition which was a great success, we had 18 young people who participated and enjoyed themselves immensely, out of this project they young people performed in front of an audience of 70 people, this performance was filmed later edited and turned into a DVD for the young people to keep a copy of their good hard work.
BAS interviewed six young people during the rehearsal process and after the final production performance; here are some of the positive comments feedback to us from the young people who took part in this project.

“I feel proud I was able to take part in this project it has made me a stronger person.”
Claire- Louise Peters

“I felt silly an uncomfortable at first, then when you get to know everyone its great fun; I would defiantly do it again and recommend it to people.”

Emma Walton

“BAS have been great they all made us feel like we were worth something and didn’t give up on us like most people would, I enjoyed every bit of the performance and would give anything to perform it one more time.”

Chris Browne

“BAS have taught me not to give up! If you keep at something you will see the success and feel a great sense of achievement at the end.”

Jimmy Browne

To hear all these comments from the young people and to see their creative abilities shine through, and to see them engaging with the activities require but most importantly having fun and enjoying themselves and to see their positive attitudes grow makes BAS more determined to continue with these projects in the future.
