Arts Award on Voice

At college, I recently took part in an Arts in the Community project with Manchester Camerata. I didn't know what to expect, but after taking part I think this way of working is a very good example of how art can change the world.

This is Tarantino's 8th film and to be honest, he's improving through the years.

I know for certain that the power of the arts can rebel against the world in a variety of different ways. For instance, art in the 1990s was used to present "broken" or "grotesque" imagery which at the time reflected the economic struggles and the dissatisfied and rebellious youth at that time. But what about today in 2016? Does art of our time need to completely change our current state, or will it only encourage our demise?

The scene is the plush Whitehall Banqueting suite, a £300 a-seat Mencap fundraising do featuring a meal and a jazz style cabaret hosted by Michael Parkinson and Lord Brian Rix.

2015 has been quite a year. 2016 is shaping up to be even more of a year for the arts world and for Arts Award as it continues it's celebrations of 10 years, and we embark on even greater plans for supporting you through Gold Arts Award.

Well, time flies when you're having fun, especially when you're an apprentice. Since the last blog, I've handled more responsibility, whilst learning and fully appreciating the world of work!

I decided to do something a little different for my Silver Arts Award challenge. Here's the introduction.

Last year, I reported on how I felt 2014 marked the establishment of the New Wave of Christmas adverts with more adverts than ever with short form narratives and touching productions rather than flashing price tags and undulating images of products.

18-year-old Noah Altshuler works as playwright-in-residence at the Mark Twain House and Museum in Hartford, Connecticut. An enormous Twain fan, the young writer has produced a set of three short plays based on the popular novel Tom Sawyer, published in 1876 and based largely on Twain's own youth.

I love writing, but we have had our difficulties.

This blog was written by Puffin Ethics a young spoken word artist from Herefordshire.
I could probably write a small book about my experience making a film with the Rural Media company for this Random Acts Project, but I've tried really hard not to. I also tried hard not to open with a clique...obviously not hard enough. No one's got time for books anymore anyway, that's why you want to make a film, right? I'll try and keep it snappy.

The second day of Affinity Festival arrived and I was super excited for what would come.
