Here's what people said after our taster session:
"Sound and vision could create something very special with different groups of people, particularly with team building, or maybe more disadvantaged groups or people who don't usually have access to what's on offer here." Rosemary Green, Youth Offending Team.
"We had a chance to play, that's what it felt like. What I did find enjoyable were that barriers were being broken down, not that there were any barriers but you found out about people and their personalities, you were able to communicate a lot and enjoy meeting new people." Natasha Smith, Cardiff and Vale Coalition of Disabled People.
"One of the things about being in a recording studio is that you have that distance between yourself and the performance, and as you're in character anyway it's easy to see things from different persepectives. If you were using this exercise for project planning for organisations or as a team building exercise it's very useful to have that critical distance between who you normally are and what you do, whether you're part of an organisation or whether you have to work with people you don't know." Martin Briggs, editions Martin
"It's very good as a team building thing to break down boundaries... I can imagine that people who work together have a very particular way of relating to each other that is related to their jobs. To do something like this would help people actually talk to each other, and it's better than going on an outdoor bounds course or something because you're actually talking about something that means something to you." Julie Maldoom, Voluntary Action Cardiff
"It reminds me how to have fun, because day to day you tend to forget that when you're a kid you tend to pick things up and bang them around, whether or not you can play things, we often forget that. It's not raft-building and tying knots and problem solving... it's more of the creative and fun side that everyone has inside them but don't often express in a working environment, especially when they get further up the hierarchy. People achieve more than they expected to achieve." Mark Farrar, RPS.
"It's quite good to be creative, and to have something to take home, whether it's a recording you've done of some song or some sketch you've put together, there's actually some meaning to it, and it's not stressful either." James Mercer, Comtec
"I'd recommend Sound and Vision to anyone really, I work with the Youth Justice system,...for anyone who's personally interested in their own development, developing their own talent and ability..or someone who wants to explore and be challenged a little bit, to put themselves in a less comfortable position and come out the other end feeling that they've achieved something." Rosemary Green, Youth Offending Team
