5 TIME WELL SPENT It is thrilling when a real ‘talent’ is uncovered but equally thrilling to see any kind of personal progress. Some participants arrive with obvious musical skills, others with boundless energy and enthusiasm. A few arrive wondering if they have made the right choice. Combining all these elements whilst listening, supporting and stretching individuals, as well as seeing a team come together with a real desire to succeed, has benefits that last way beyond the end of the project.

with the participants 5 RELATING The group consisted of adults, young offenders (YOs) and juvenile offenders and it was intended that, by using a co-educational approach with prisoners of mixed age and ability, they would take the piece and develop it thematically and musically. The project resulted in providing a mixed group of women with a positive and creative outlet for their musical, drama and dance abilities. (Fair 2005) The Artistic Director mentioned the importance of the mixed age/category group. It allowed a mixed group to work together and share a range of experiences. He also said how difficult it would have been to accept a new member into the group once the project was underway, i.e. by end of the first week when a group dynamic had been established. (Fair 2005) “Working with you and seeing how you get things out of people and how much you love what you do, gave me confidence to try stuff out. I knew I couldn’t fail and that was a good feeling - believe me!” Participant (Fair 2005) SUPPORTING The rehearsals took place in the prison gym and classrooms, coming together in the last week for the rehearsals for three final performances. Several people who contributed to the piece decided not to take part in the final show but asked other members of the company to perform their work. (The Fair Programme) “Oh my gosh I have never been so scared. Going to court didn’t even give me the butterflies I had today - I couldn’t hear the music, only my heart beating in my ears. Thanks so much for pushing me, for being patient, for encouraging me and having faith. I now have confidence to have faith in myself too.” Participant (Fair 2005)
