03 Jul Hackney Flipped
A creative summer project (at safe distances)
Mimbre’s young participants, Marnie and Raya, with input from other Mimbre Youths, are very excited to have secured funding for a series of online creative workshops across the summer. The funding from Young Hackney gives participants a chance to learn a variety of different skills and to create their own choreographies. There will also be socially distanced outdoor sessions where the young people can film each other’s choreography in a local setting in Hackney!
The young people can join one or all of the workshops and there is also a chance to learn simple video editing skills to be part of creating a short film about the project!
Dates and sessions
The online sessions will take place on Tuesdays from 14 July – 11 August (available to anyone anywhere!) and the socially distanced outdoor sessions will take place in different locations in Hackney on Thursdays from 16 July – 13 August (for Hackney and Islington residents).
Skill sessions includes acrobatics, breakdance, juggling, percussion (found objects and body percussion) and whacking, see the full exciting schedule below!
