Testimonies from last year's events

I liked that I was treated like an adult and that they listened when I spoke...didn’t put me down and told me when it was good work which built my confidence (Apprentice Artist, Newark & Sherwood 2007)

I have learnt that i can conduct myself better in a professional environment.  I can take responsibility and step up to challenging situations (Apprentice Artist, Roundhouse Theatre, London 2007)

On this project i tried things i wouldn’t normally do.  This has raised my confidence. (Apprentice Artist, Oldham, 2007)

Best experience ever!  I really enjoyed myself and met loads of new people.  It was brilliant! (Apprentice Artist, Leeds)

Thank you for the privilege.  Many thanks to everyone; I am now aiming to go in to acting.  It has turned my life around.  I was on a lot of drugs and this has helped me be myself again. (Apprentice Artist, Newark & Sherwood, 2007)
