I am Monjer Rashid, Programme Manager, Solar Learning Services and The Urban Games.
We are working with Internationally renowned Prodigal Theatre Company, aka Urban Playground, to prepare a 10 minute performance for the opening of the Olympic Torch Relay celebration events, Newcastle Quayside, Friday 15th June 2012.
A collaboration of dancers, and free runners, expressing themselves through a theatrical display of movements, tricks and flips. Quality and detail are of huge importance, and so the costumes, the soundtrack and the choreography are all custom-made for the showcase. This will truly be an amazing display of the hidden talent in the NE.
You can find out more about the performance and how you can get involved in our activities by visiting www.theurbangames.org.uk
The North East certainly does have talent!!
The project is funded by Newcastle City Council and the Newcastle Gateshead Initiative.

Chester and District Housing Trust, working with local youths, are campaining together to try and get a BMX track for Blacon.
Colin the Youth Co-ordinator for CDHT has been working hard to get a group of like minded young people together to campaign for funding and permission to build a track.
Tired of being moved from place to place in the community, the young people feel that if they had their own safe place to practice and ride, in a designated facillity, wardens would have to spend less time following up calls from local residents to move them away from streets and garage sites and to focus on real areas of crime in the community.
Colin Keenan from CDHT said ” Young people have no place to call their own. They are constantly moved from one area to the next and then moved on again from there. They need somewhere to hang out and play and a BMX track, would be an ideal solution to the problem!”
