LRS arts Becca Lansford & Alix Hart Rose Weber Betty Davies Founded in 2014 by enthusiastic arts promoters from The Port Eliot Festival, St.Germans, LRS Arts has gone from strength to strength in their quest to make sure that talented young performers from Devon and Cornwall get an equal opportunity to show off and advance their skills and ideas. The aim is to bridge the gap between ‘participant’ and ‘audience’ by creating an individual and group mentoring and development programme for those performers who demonstrated strong artistic or technical excellence but lacked experience and vital opportunities. This pilot scheme was in conjunction with Livewire Youth Music Project (Livewire) of Saltash, Real Ideas Org (RIO), and with Devon and Cornwall Housing - now Live West. A year later Arts Council England got involved and have also generously supported this project since then. In a sparsely populated part of the country, it can be difficult for youngsters to get started and find out how to get training, mentoring and advice from professional performers in order to start a career in the performing arts. There can be lots of openings but making contact, talking to the right people and understanding how to advance in a world that can so often be dominated by big concerns based far away is the reason that LRS Arts was formed. They give opportunities to young performers, actors, writers, singers and musicians as well as stage staff, stage managers and technical crew to learn by working with experienced and successful teachers. This is most often achieved at an actual event with a hands-on approach that can bring quick results. They work with big festivals and with Kernow in the City - an annual night of Cornish talent that takes place in fashionable Shoreditch on St.Piran’s Day each year. LRS Arts has established partnerships with Port Eliot, Glastonbury and Boardmasters Festivals and Kernow in the City to provide many hours of live performance opportunities. These partners luckily agreed to provide the event infrastructure, support and marketing to run the LRS Arts showcase events. These high-profile opportunities get participants performing to national and international audiences that would otherwise be out of their reach. Apart from all the actual performances, LRS Arts also offer mentoring to songwriters, singers, poets or spoken word artists, photographers and film makers. They help people with their voice technique, stage presence, career finances and many more aspects of the business including master classes with successful musicians. All this is funded by LiveWest in partnership with LRS Arts and Arts Council England Next year LRS Arts will start recruiting again from March 1st. and will be looking for enthusiastic and talented youngsters - over 16 - to join our program which usually extends to three years of development.
