A2B Festival - Tigerstyle Music Production Workshops

GemArts co-delivered a youth arts project with The Brewery Arts Centre in Kendal and South Lakeland Young Carers, a pilot project that gave groups of young carers from across South Lakeland the opportunity to devise and create their own urban street culture. Through consultation with the Young Carers to find out what art forms and cultural activity they would like to learn about and participate in, the results showed a strong interest in multi-cultural, urban arts forms such as Street Dance, Graffiti Art, Animation and Rap/Hip-Hop.

Beginning in April 2010, the Young Carers tried out a variety of taster workshops led by GemArts artists Tigerstlye. Young People worked on music production software and hardware programmes and looked at music production influenced by traditional Indian Music and instruments. The young people particularly enjoyed the demonstrations by Tigerstyle and their DJ gig as part of the A2B Festival in July 2011
