Rage was short listed for a Birmingham City Council's Life Long Learning Award for The Rage Ensemble. Eeach of the first three years this was run as a thirty week company funded through the Neighbourhood Support fund, a DFES initiative. We now run various projects throughout the year in film and theatre funded through organisations including Connexions, the Arts Council and the European Social Fund. Rage Ensemble projects have included short films, theatre and multi media performances and a workshop with Brazilian street theatre company Guetto Poetico which culminated in a performance as part of the Birmingham International festival. This featured a 10ft Giant carnival puppet which was made by the workshop participants. working with professionals to create their own productions participants gain skills eg improved self confidence and self esteem to help them back into education or to gain employment.

Journeys – A Live Performance
Ten young people working on multi media production Journeys – A Live Performance which combined film and theatre.
Over four weeks Journeys a Live Performance was created by the young participants themselves working with professional artistes including a producer. They started by working with the director to improvise and develop the story alongside a writer who then produced a script. They then had two weeks in which to rehearse the script before performing Journeys A Live Performance for two nights at the Allardyce Theatre at Birmingham University. During the rehearsal period they worked with a professional actor.

The production was directed by Tina Hofman, featured original music by Mark Taylor and the script was by Martin Smith who has written all our Christmas productions to date. The cast of three were:- Martin Tomms, Tina Hofman and Owen Radmore.
