by CYO, twenty young people
aged between 11 and 19years old wrote|the| ||||||words and music for The Little Black Cat.|| ||||||The younger
participants,
some ofwhom|| ||||||had very little formal music education|| ||||||created the cat choruses experimenting
with|| ||||||cat sounds and 'translating'
them into|| ||||||English and setting them to music. The older|| ||||||participants
created the score (music)|| ||||||mentored
by the composer Russell|| ||||||Hepplewhite
and the libretto (script)|| ||||||for the opera was created with the support|of| ||||||the CYO team. This work was of immediate|| ||||||benefit to the young people taking part, who|| ||||||were able to develop new skills and|| ||||||experiences. One participant
said: "You|| ||||||gave me the courage to try things
I might|| ||||||never have done otherwise. The Little Black
Cat showed me
I could be a writer. " We also|| ||||||worked
with the Netherhall
School who|| ||||||based a Year 8 English module
on the work.|| ||||||The impact ofthis project extends into future|| ||||||work, driving performance
projects,|| ||||||workshops
with primary
and secondary|| ||||||schools and future partnerships
which|| ||||||should
bring benefits to a wide range of|| ||||||young people.|| ||||||Our second major area of activity was|| ||||||strategic. We started work on a new|| ||||||business
plan and on the development
of|a| ||||||Youth Advisory
Board to drive future activity|| ||||||and impact. These were both started|| ||||||towards the end ofthe period covered
