People Express (www.people-express.org.uk) is on the hunt for a collection of individual artists or a company to deliver a £12,000 multi-art form project in South Derbyshire.

Between March and July 2011, artists will work with a core group of 10 girls (9-14years) and their schools to produce exciting new work and/or performance, which will tour to schools, festivals and other events in the district!

The purpose of Aspirations project is to make the girls aware of the importance of leadership, risk-taking and dealing with change. Taking these into consideration, what can you offer as an artist/company to channel their creativity into producing something exciting and wonderful?

The girls are interested in ALL art-forms; new, different and diverse, and enjoy using equipment and props! They have highlighted the following as essential qualities of their ideal artist leader:

• Have to be really inspirational and great at what they do
• Should be friendly and welcoming
• Be able to have a laugh and be fun
• Be able to give encouragement, support and praise
• Have to be great with kids and really, really cool!

If you think you fit the bill, have something creative on offer and want to work with this great group of girls and their schools, please email or send us:
