The
Apollo Ensemble took centre stage at the 'Inclusion not Exclusion' event run by
East Riding Voluntary Action Services. It was part of the display and presentation for the
Inclusive Youth Theatre Project.
The club is free to join and teachs skills in dance, music, singing, drama and performance. There are also opportunities to learn backstage techniques including prop making, creating sound effects and recording studio technology.
Jacki Dealtry, Project Manager, said “This is fully inclusive, allowing students from mainstream and special needs schools/colleges to take part. It’s a brand new initiative and something that has never been done before in the East Riding”.
The project has acquired two portable kits, with laptops,
Ensemble Hubs, lighting, speakers and a range of
Ensemble sensors and switches. Delegates at the event had the chance to play on the kit, triggering sounds and lights with a carnival feel.
Apollo were at the 'Music & Inclusivity' Conference at York St John University today, showing the Apollo Ensemble. We were joined by Andrew Cleaton, who has recently been interviewing people for our new series of case studies.
