Venus Blazing Music Trust
Camera person and editor need to document upcoming rehearsals and performance
The collaboration with the British Library where our young people interact with the library’s current exhibition UNEARTHED: THE POWER OF GARDENING, is being workshopped with a performance by our young people (16-30) in the public space Upper Mezzanine of the library.
Evaluating and disseminating exciting visual information about the process and performance is critical for future partnerships and funding.
Outcome: To create a snappy and vibrant 10-minute film which tells the story of their involvement in UNEARTHED, for evaluation of the project and to attract new partners and funders. Also, a visual record of the project to attract and excite new participants from the disability community through websites of organisations such as the Down Syndrome Association and various Autism and related voluntary organisations.
Skills: Camera and editing skills, as well as associated sound technical skills. Success for our association is the creation of a visual record of the process - 10 minutes - which has an instant visual appeal and a cinematic approach that tells the story of the process.
Impact: A professional-looking film would give them a sense of importance and pride about the work they are creating: a feeling that their work is skilful and of interest to others.

Charity Details
Venus Blazing Music Trust was established in 2004 to promote innovative music and theatre projects which challenge societal ideas and pre-conceptions and allow young people with cognitive disability to express their voice and creativity through music and theatre. Led by Royal College of Music professor composer Deirdre Gribbin and recent Artistic Director of Chickenshed and winner of a number of Off West End awards for his work in the field of inclusion, Venus Blazing sessions are designed by them and led by the young people themselves. A new partnership with Kings Place Foundation, Camden LA, and the British Library indicates an exciting new area of access development for the charity.
