Press Releases - Jazzing up the Curriculum

Trap Media Creative Arts Agency works to give young people throughout London and England the opportunity to develop their potential and creativity through sustainable partnerships with schools, educational establishments and youth prisons.

A unique partnership between Trap Media and Friern Barnet School has resulted in the support of a new scheme called Footprints. The Footprints campaign is a creative vision to build a community arts centre with dance studios and spaces for arts activities and events.

The building will be a focal point in Friern Barnet and will enable young people, their families, professional artists and businesses to access the arts for education skills, recreational activities and training events. The campaign led by Community Arts Co-ordinator Torrie Pearson, plans to raise £1 million for the new building.

The next event in line to support the Footprints campaign will be “Frenzy Furzday” on the 20th of July. Professional artists on the day will run workshops ranging from African drumming to street dance, spoken word and drama to the students.

Headlining the event as surprise guests will be hip hop artists SAS, who were affiliated with hip hop moguls Jay Z and Damon Dash. They will run music workshops on the day and close the festival with a performance.

Managing Director of Trap Media, Letise Sampson welcomes the partnership;

“We aim to place creativity and imagination at the centre of teaching and learning, working across the whole community and school curriculum. We work with young people, teachers, parents, volunteers and freelancers to encourage and enable different ways of thinking. We believe that young people today are far more receptive to learning creatively using the arts, than traditional methods, we are here to support that interaction”

Trap Media plans to bring this experience to young people in other educational facilities across the UK. Visit www.trapmedia.co.uk for more information or email info@trapmedia.co.uk
