About our project...

For the last few weeks of Term 4 and the first 5 weeks in Term 5, we will be working on a collaborative project with a group of adults and the staff at Beulah Resource Base. Each Wednesday for the first 4 weeks of June we will be producing work in workshops at BRB and The BRIT School , then we will spend the remainder of the week in school working on the material created and gathered to produce work for the final event. There will be a Celebration day in week 5 (Wednesday 6thJuly) at BRB where we will share our outcomes.

A SENSE OF ME: Aim of project: To create sensory installations at BRB exploring memories and/or ambitions of the adults. Between workshops students will be developing the animations and other material towards the sensory installations.

MY FIRST EXPERIENCE

My first experience visiting Beulah Family Church was a mixture of emotions. I was excited but at the same time slightly scared of meeting the clients we were working with, as I didn't know how they would react to me. When I got there the environment was warm and friendly. Everyone was open and willing to talk and introduce themselves to me.

I was surprised to see how open they were to talk to me about their lives, what they enjoyed and various other things about themselves. Their warm handshakes made me intrigued to find out more about them.

They were like a little family; everyone looked happy and excited for the events that were installed for the day.

I really enjoyed meeting them as it was a chance for me to get to know them and also get a brief outline of their characters.

Approaching them was kind of hard, as some gave you straight answers while others were willing to have a conversation with you, from reality to their imaginations.

I can’t wait to go back there as I will feel more open myself, even though I am slightly still nervous as I still don’t know what to expect later on, the environment and warmness has put me on a good stepping stone.
