Lynne Mentors on the StepUp Programme

The stepUp programme has given 5 culturally diverse local artists the chance to develop their art-forms, and helped them work with schools and other educational establishments.

The programme included mentoring by innovative and established artists from visual arts, theatre, dance, spoken word, music and performance including Jonzi D, Zena Edwards, Shane Shambu, Jane Sekonya, Shabz Shabazi and Lynne Hollingsworth.

The programme will conclude with an exciting showcase of dance, spoken word, traditional Southern African music, visual arts and more. The showcase is the climax of a special training and development programme managed by Creative Partnership for Culturally Diverse artists living in Derby. Other project partners are Derby City Council Arts & Events, Apples and Snakes, Mainstream Partnership, Derby Dance, Creative Launchpad, and QUAD.

The showcase will be on Tuesday 17 June 2008 from 5-7pm in Unit 9, Friargate Studios, Ford St, Derby, DE1 1EE. Admission is free. Snacks will be available. For more details contact: Sally Lemsford on 07974 785624
