somewhereto_ Showcase Event

Wednesday 25th January 2012

Creative Arts East is offering young people the opportunity to perform at a Showcase Event during the Money, Employment & Learning Fair as part of the somewhereto_ project at The Forum, Norwich on Wed. 25 January 2012 from 10am – 4pm!

The Showcase offers 16-25 year olds somewhereto_ perform their comedy, music, magic, acting, performing, dancing, whatever their act, to a fresh audience in the centre of Norwich!

This is an AMAZING opportunity for young people to get their performance seen, and there will also be an opportunity to have 1:1 guidance sessions with an industry expert. Please share this information with young people and forward it to any relevant contacts, as we don’t want any young performers to miss the opportunity to perform!

Amplification is prohibited at this event.

If you would like more information about the Showcase, or to pre-book a slot please e-mail Elly Wilson at elly@somewhereto.org
