FIRST DETAILS of the new impact report on 20 Years of Creative Futures, will be launched with a special on-stage event at Hackney Empire today.
As the iconic East London theatre celebrates 120 years at the heart of the local community, Artistic Director Yamin Choudury said having ben involved with the initiative for 15 years it was important to ensure programmes like this are ‘able to continue to change young people’s lives for many more decades’.
Today, Creative Futures annually engages over 2,000 young people aged 12 to 25-years-old. From its inception, Creative Futures set out to reframe ‘culture’ by using art-forms that young people were already engaged in, including film, popular including acting for stage and screen, popular music such as British Rap and R&B, spoken word and dance.
These include workshops and masterclasses alongside professionally produced training and performance programmes, all of which are provided free of charge to all participants.
Limitless – an intensive creative arts programme, collaborating with a company of 40 neurodiverse and disabled young creatives aged 14-25 years old in the summer holidays. The project has run for nine year and is now supported by Children in Need. Rachel Horowitz, Head of Learning and Participation, said: “It’s exciting to share the incredible work we do at HE Creative Futures. Our young creatives are the next generation of artists and decision makers.
