I am fundraising to deliver workshops based on La Llorona, my show that I have been developing this year, in Hartlepool and Middlesbrough, in the Tees Valley. As an artist based in and from the Tees Valley I recognise that young people here do not have the same opportunities to engage with the arts and with professional artists. Coming into contact with professional artists through workshops at my school and college was one of the ways I realised that working in the arts could be a viable career option. This area of low engagement with the arts often due to financial barriers and the Tees Valley has recently been identified as a Priority Place by Arts Council England. The workshops are designed for participants to develop their creative skills and how to create movement driven performance from a written story which will develop their communication skills and provide experience of professional practice.
The money from this GoFundMe will go towards covering the costs of delivering the workshops including travel costs, planning time, delivery and materials so that the workshop can be delivered at no cost to the participants.
Everyone who makes a donation to La Llorona will be thanked on my social media channels and will be included in the Thank You section on the programme given out for the performances of La Llorona.
You can donate here: https://gofund.me/0baa2c56 We will be closing the fundraiser on Friday 10 December at 5pm.
Muchísimas gracias for your support it means so much to me!
