Synopsis: The Cross and Passion, in Ballycastle co-ordinated a week, day residential in the school on the first week of the school holiday in July 05. The school also invited 30 children from primary schools in the area to participate, who would be attending the school in September. Four artists facilitated the workshops, 2 dance and 2 drama, working collaboratively and breaking into smaller groups working with a specific artist. The whole residential was process lead, working on a loose theme of ‘Wishes’. On the Thursday, it was decided to work towards a short informal performance for the parent, to see what the young people had experienced. On the Friday, a half hour unprompted creative, intensive, informative presentation was made to the parents.
