Following on the success of the Bonfire Night 2009, young people have been working since summer 2010 with Rap, Hip Hop and Graffiti Artists on an updated storyline, to create a dynamic and thought provoking production which includes current issues relevant to young people in Brighton in 2010.

Bonfire Night
A supernatural Hip Hop thriller by Dizraeli

Featuring Rising Stars of Brighton Hip Hop and Drama


“Remember , Remember... November 5th Brighton 2010.
Beneath the bright surface of fireworks and toffee apple festivities,
there's something darker at work ;
a meddling spirit that won't rest until the whole town has faced its demons…
As midnight draws near, it looks like some of the townsfolk might not make it till morning!”

 Rap collides with theatre, music and live graffiti to spin you into a twisted world of fire and mischief.

Overwhelming Message from the Nalgao 2010 conference Arts and the Big Society in Brighton today

....'It is very important that as a city ( Brighton and Hove) we demonstrate that there is a strong and united voice in the arts and cultural sector ('a critical mass')'

To those that provide arts and cultural experiences for children and young people in the city , let us not only demonstrate that we are aware of the city's Express strategy but that we are also engaging with it. With this in mind:
- the next reflective practice session is on 8th December at Brighton Youth Centre 5.30 -7.30 for further details see previous posts.

-If you work directly with Young People and want Young People to have a truly authentic part in shaping the strategy please contact Mike Roe who is leading on the Express Young People working party.
