The ten participants of the ‘Lost and Found’ community cast will now be starting a project called Urban Youth.

Urban Youth Project graciously acquired funding from Gloucestershire Community Foundation and the Barnwood trust. This allows the group to develop their skills further in urban dance training. With upcoming performances in November we hope to recruit more participants to join the group come January 2017. This group will aid research on the access to physically disabled children and teenagers into urban dance.

Some of the participants from the 'Lost and Found' Production have now joined us in other roles.

Leon, one of our participants, has now become a Youth Ambassador for GDance. This role allows Leon to attend events and voice the research from the Urban Youth Project.

Bethany Kent, one of our participants from our partners Linda Virgoe Studio’s, will be leading the Urban Dance project as a Dance leader, mentored by Louise Brown as inclusion specialist.

The Urban Youth Project will be performing at the Gloucester Guildhall on Saturday 5 November and Tuesday 7 November at the Gloucester Cathedral.
