For each of these projects, a team of 6-8 music and<br>acting students or recent alumni devised a new piece of collaborative<br>music theatre for children.<br>These performances are always followed by an interactive music and<br>drama workshop, enabling and encouraging children to express their<br>creativity.<br>Our teams took these productions (performance + workshop) on<br>international tours. The teams conducted these projects exclusively with<br>disadvantaged children.<br>Project 1: Tanzania (April 2023)<br>Five performers<br>20+ performances & workshops for street children and orphans,<br>collaborating with various NGOs<br>Project 2: Turkey (August 2023)<br>Eight performers<br>20+ performances & workshops for Syrian refugee children in camps,<br>schools, and various NGO-led centres.<br>Project 3: Belgium (December 2023)<br>Six performers<br>10+ performances and workshops for refugee children, and Roma<br>children, in various settlements, camps, and NGO-led venues.<br>This year, most participants were current students or recent graduates of<br>the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, the Royal College of Music, and<br>the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts.<br>Working with students from such high-reputation establishments ensures<br>that performances and workshops we offer are of a professional standard.<br>Our performances only use live music. This enables us to introduce<br>children to classical instruments to which they are unlikely ever to have<br>been exposed.<br>All our performances are entirely free of charge both for the venues<br>hosting us, and the attending public.<br>The charity is run entirely by volunteers.<br>We confirm the trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission’s<br>guidance on public benefit.|
