somewhereto_ be a success story

somewhereto_ recently partnered with North Tyneside Council’s Arts department and Custom’s House to stage an event called ‘So you wanna be….’. The event was hosted at North Tyneside’s YMCA venue and was aimed at young people that would like somewhereto_ learn and develop their skills within various cultural activities from dance and music production to art and graffiti work.

somewhereto_ be a success

Sara came to somewhereto_ desiring opportunities to give talks/speeches on issues which she is passionate about to different selections of audiences. somewhereto_ has managed to get her a slot in the young ranters event last Sunday at the Sage Gateshead which is part of BBC 3′s free thinking festival. Sara attended the event and presented her rant which was based on the newcastle based tv programme called ‘Geordie Shore’ which tends to show Geordies in a negative manner. The rant and event was extremely successful and humerous and can be viewed by clicking here.

somewhereto_ host and rap!

Sara and Louie came to somewhereto_ to gain opportunities to speak at huge events and increase their skills at public speaking and rap entertaining. The both of them compered a huge event at the Sage Gateshead called ‘The Power Tour’ where there were 150 people in attendance. The Power Tour took place throughout last week and featured young people’s bands performing at venues across the country. The pair had a great rapport with the audience and their performance was applauded from all angles and the crowd found their humour extremely entertaining.

Louie was also presented with the opportunity to perform his solo act of beat boxing and rapping which is part of his somewhereto_ project. Louie loved it and this was his second rap performance at huge public events through somewhereto_. This was after he was also given an opportunity to be part of the grand opening event. Louie wrote a rap to music by Gateshead’s Voltage Volunteers which acted as the keynote opening speech for the Juice festival. Louie and the musicians performed the track at the grand opening at the Sage Gateshead on Tuesday 18th October.
