It was the best two weeks of his life.Parent
Make a Play – Primary School"Make a Play has been a fantastic project to be a part of and has always been a highlight of the academic year. It is one of the things that our Year 4s most remember about their year and a project that really encourages them to step outside of their comfort zone especially in terms of improvisation and performing in front of an audience. As a teacher, I have seen huge changes in the confidence of children in my class and have always had great pride in watching their performances. Even during the school closures, Artburst worked hard to make sure that our children were able to get the most out of the experience. " Year 3 Teacher Primary School Tower Hamlets.
"Artburst provided us, for our first Summer Uni London programme, a wonderful workshop entitled 'James and the Giant Peach'. The work and expertise during the week culminated in a performance that would have been worthy of many months of work. The costume design and the narrative of the play having been devised during the week showed just how much work was put in and I know from the feedback received that the students thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Parents also commented on the fun the youngsters were having. The aim of the Summer Uni is to give young people the chance to try something new, Artburst provided that for these youngsters and I am pleased to say that we have booked them again for the next half term school holiday. A really enjoyable experience for everyone involved." Beverley Griffiths, Summer Uni Co-ordinator Havering Summer UniBeverley Griffiths
