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.

This video clip is from the street theatre festival that happeneds every year in Krakow, Poland, The theme that year was stories from the bible, we focused on Exodus and the plauges, this was the show we performed over five days.

People I Admire

Judy Dench:

Judy Dench is someone I admier, she has had a huge impact on the way I think about acting from film and television, to the stage. She is considered the greatest actress of post- war period, and has achieved a lot in her lifetime and is now 74 years of age.
Originally trained as a set designer, Dench began her acting career in the mid 1950s in amateur productions, and made her professional debut in 1957 with the Old Vic Company. Over the following few years she played in several of William Shakespeare's plays in such roles as Ophelia in Hamlet, Juliet in Romeo and Juliet and Lady Macbeth in Macbeth. She branched into film work, and won a BAFTA Award as Most Promising Newcomer, however most of her work during this period was in theatre.

Marcus Romer:

Marcus is the Artistic Director of Pilot Theatre, the national touring theatre company based at York Theatre Royal.
I have met with Marcus on a number of various occasions when his productions have come to the Arts depot, starting with The Twits, Fungus the Bogeyman, and then Lord of The Flies, Marcus is a great contact to have as I have links to his facebook page, blog and groups he has set up, I always get information on shows coming up and also get e- mails inviting me to auditions for shows coming up, he is a great inspiration to my career.

Constantin Stanislavski:

Stanislavki was a Russian actor and theatre director. His innovative contribution to modern European and American realistic acting has remained at the core of mainstream western performance training for much of the last century.
I admire Constantin Stanislavski (1863-1938) as he has had a major impact on my career as an assistant teacher, I often find myself using the Stanislavski techniques, not only as a warm up but also, as a way into drama to help find and develop characters for characterisation work.

The Kolb Learning Cycle

In this post Kel and I will be talking about the Kolb learning cycle, after our lecture on it at Cat Hill campus.
We went through various different exercises to help us understand the cycle, which was created by David Kolb in order to help and inspire reflective learning. One of the task that we were assigned to do was take extracts from other people blogs, this was completely anonymous, we had no idea who had written the extracts, we then cut the extracts up into sentences and put them into the relevant Kolb cycle sections.

Kolb says that ideally (and by inference not always) this process represents a learning cycle or spiral where the learner 'touches all the bases', ie., a cycle of experiencing, reflecting, thinking, and acting. Immediate or concrete experiences lead to observations and reflections. These reflections are then assimilated (absorbed and translated) into abstract concepts with implications for action, which the person can actively test and experiment with, which in turn enable the creation of new experiences.

Active Experimentation: Feeling/ Doing/ Thinking.
Concrete Experience: Feeling/ Watching/ Doing.
Reflective Observation: Watch/ Thinking/ Feeling.
Abstract Conceptualisation: Watch/ Thinking/ Doing.

David Kolb's Experiential Learning: Experience as the source of learning and development (1984) theorized that four combinations of perceiving and processing determine four learning styles that make up a learning cycle. According to Kolb, the learning cycle involves four processes that must be present for learning to occur:
• Activist - Active Experimentation (simulations, case study, homework). What's new? I'm game for anything. Training approach - Problem solving, small group discussions, peer feedback, and homework all helpful; trainer should be a model of a professional, leaving the learner to determine her own criteria for relevance of materials.
• Reflector - Reflective Observation (logs, journals, brainstorming). I'd like time to think about this. Training approach - Lectures are helpful; trainer should provide expert interpretation (taskmaster/guide); judge performance by external criteria.
• Theorist - Abstract Conceptualization (lecture, papers, analogies). How does this relate to that? Training approach - Case studies, theory readings and thinking alone helps; almost everything else, including talking with experts, is not helpful.
• Pragmatist - Concrete Experience (laboratories, field work, observations). How can I apply this in practice? Training approach - Peer feedback is helpful; activities should apply skills; trainer is coach/helper for a self-directed autonomous learner.
I find that as I am keeping a reflective diary about work, and also relevant activities that happened during my day, I am able to use the Kolb learning cycle to put my diary entry’s into different categories, I find most times I will be taking about my experience that day, and be thinking to myself how would that help me in my very day practice? I will look though my notes and find similar references, sometimes the experience I have had has not always worked to it is a matter of thinking about, how and what do I do to improve and make it better for next time? Looking into the learning cycle a little bit more has made me learn to appreciate how I handle reflecting on my day or week.

Useful Resources!

I find that the Arts Depot, North Finchely is a great place to be no matter what age you are! There's many theatre show's that go on the ranging from Comedy, Childrens Theatre, Dance and many more, there are also many different course and class to take developing skills such as Drama, Movement, Dance, Puppetry, great place to be and fun for all.

Another useful link for young people who are lookin for help in a specific profession, and help in general areas of life such as, work, money, housing, health issues etc. Are you 13-19? If so, Connexions Direct can offer you all the information and advice you need to make the decisions and choices in your life. For a meaning insight and a great start to life for young people.

Also check out BASE, Barnet's new online directory for young people, to find music, drama, sports events, advide and more.
