Realtime Arts is a youth organisation dedicated to inspiring and engaging young people who need it most. Since its inception in 2004 the organisation has built a reputation for delivering inspirational projects that unleash creativity and expand young minds. Realtime Arts has had over five thousand participants take part in exciting and innovative projects from immersive 3D sound installations to interactive fashion exhibitions and live performances. Realtime Arts mission is to enable young people to create, produce, perform, and exhibit their work and showcase their talent to the full.
Young people are at the heart of Realtime Arts work, devising and shaping projects, leading our mentoring and volunteer scheme, and helping deliver workshops in everything from studio music to street dance and fashion. Realtime Arts has an impeccable record of engaging young people in the arts, from Adventures in Sound our three-year interactive sound and music project working with over 300 young people with special educational needs in West London, to Wavelength a project dedicated to enabling 16-21 year olds reach their full potential.
” Real Time arts workshops have provided ours students with an incredibly invaluable and rich experience. It was clear from the start from the students’ enthusiastic feedback that they were all fully absorbed and engaged in the project. The skills developed through the project were clearly evident in the students’ work and added serious value to the courses we deliver. One of our students who was predicted a D was able to achieve a B in music and this was largely due to the skills learned and confidence built in workshops” (Stephen Olanipekun, Head of Music, Fulham College, March 2015)
“Having worked closely with tutors during the music sessions, I witnessed the pupils thoroughly enjoying the process. Not only did it enrich their experience at Latimer but it also encouraged them to explore issues that they may not have been able to express otherwise. Tutors built a rapport with pupils and were extremely good at gauging how to broach very sensitive subjects with respect and also offered, a level of autonomy so pupils ultimately made decisions regarding their work. These kinds of projects are essential to an environment such as Latimer Education Centre, the creative element of the music project enhances the atmosphere and increases positive well-being of the pupils.” (Sarah, Pupil Support Worker, Latimer Education Centre PRU)
