Your Time to Shine challenge
How to participate:
The Your Time to Shine Challenge is 14 days of creative challenges inspired by the audio experience We step outside and start to dance. A creative challenge is a playful prompt to inspire accessible, creative activities linked to themes in the audio drama. The challenges are varied and explore all sorts of creative forms including dancing, writing, building and exploring.
Whilst you do not need to have listened to We step outside and start to dance to take part, we highly recommend that you do. This will hopefully inspire your creative responses to the challenges and help you to better understand where they have come from.
A challenge should take as long as you have available or want to participate, and shouldn’t require any materials that you aren’t likely to have around you. You can take part in all of them, one of them, as many as you’d like.
Starting on Wednesday 18 November at noon, we'll be releasing daily challenges here on our website and on our social media channels.
The challenges are suitable for all age groups, and feel free to adapt them as you need or would like to.
We would love you to take part in whatever way you feel comfortable, from making a video or artwork to sharing a few words or a GIF on our social media posts. You can go BIG as you like, or as small as you like. And if you’d like to share what you do with us, we’d love to see it.
We'd love to see what you are up to so make sure you share what you do with us. You can send your send photos, audio, text and videos with us via Facebook and Instagram @westarttodance use #WeStartToDance or by email westarttodance@gmail.com.
