On Sunday, 26 April 2015, learners who participate in the MOD after-school programme, showcased their skills to a large audience at the Baxter theatre.
The showcase, titled “Earth Moves”, gave the learners the chance to show off their skills in dancing, singing, juggling and drama. The participating performers were selected through a talent identification process and have been coached at weekly talent development camps, as from February 2015.
The production featured three groups of participants, all putting their talent in the spotlight in order to progress to the next round. This was the semi-final stage of this process, and the final will be held in June 2015 at the Artscape theatre.
Through this initiative, the Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport gives learners the opportunity to showcase and develop their talents. Parents should encourage their children to participate in after-school programmes. Let us create a safe environment for our children BETTER TOGETHER.
