Description
The parakeets Performance Project aims to give a voice to the adult SEND community of Newham through music, songwriting, dance and drama. Up to eighty adults with learning disabilities will benefit from the four weekly workshops which are planned to take place at Forest Lane Lodge.
Having good wheelchair access, disabled toilets, easy parking space and being a detached building makes the venue an ideal space to run a sustainable project of this type.
By working alongside other community groups, putting on shows and uploading videos to our website, we plan to build our web presence and reach more people.
The classes invite a wide range of abilities from mild learning disabilities to profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD).
Musical instruments, electronic and acoustic, are used in improvisational exercises. Every three months we will invite a select audience to showcase our work.
This project is about health and well being for adults with learning disabilities and carers. A collective sense of joy will emanate from the project which will send warm ripples throughout the borough.
