About the competition
We are engaging local young people in the themes of Alice in Wonderland, encouraging creative expression in the community and collaborating with voices and perspectives not currently centred in mainstream funded culture.
Four workshops focusing on Rap and Lyricism will be delivered for young people on local estates: Angell Town, Loughborough and Moorlands/Somerleyton. Young people who attend the workshops will be eligible to enter the Rap and Lyric Writing competition. The winners will perform their work on the afternoon of Saturday 4 January before the Alice in Wonderland matinee performance.
Led by Gerel Falconer, award-winning Rapperturg and Lyricist and experienced facilitator, the workshops will be delivered for young people with the support of the Brixton House Creative Engagement team on each of these estates: Angell Town, Loughborough and Moorlands/Somerleyton.
Gerel will demonstrate the principles of storytelling through Rap using themes from Alice in Wonderland. The young people will then be supported to create their own lyrics to original instrumental music. The participants are invited to submit their creative entry to Brixton House via video, audio or writing for the judges to select the winners of the competition.
