HURBASY

Hurbasy was made, after securing funding of £15,000 from Mediabox, with students from Barton Peveril College, Toynbee School, Quilley School of Engineering and Hampshire Youth Dance Company. The young people learnt new skills, inlcuding, camerawork, make-up, editing, composing, scriptwriting and storyboarding. They also worked with a professional choreographer from StopGAP dance to create movement. The culmination of the project was the making of a 10 minute dance film. Our project MySpace website has more details on this project and other new projects coming up.

PREVIOUS PROJECTS

BALEFUL

We worked on this project in conjunction with a group of Hampshire youth dancers and professional choreographer Leanne Webb. This film was created, filmed, edited and starred in by the dancers. Telling the story of a party gone wrong in a rundown mental health institution, the film mixes dance, strong visuals and music to create a challenging, yet accessible piece of work.

A TOUCH OF MISCHIEF

This was a scripted fictional film produced with First Light funding and working with Eastleigh Young Carers group. The group worked on coming up with initial ideas, creating a script, storyboarding, filming, music production and editing.

HIP-HOPERA

Working with British lyrical artist - Roger Robinson, a group of young students from Wildern School, Hampshire, created spoken word rhymes based upon experiences in their lives. They recorded these and then filmed video images to go with the rhymes, creating a kind of Hip-Hop documentary.
