MD Productions is more than just a dance company . Behind the scenes MD is using creativity as a tool to engage , inspire and increase confidence . Taking people from Blank Canvas to performance ready for work , for stage and for life .
“ We all start as Blank Canvas ”
MD Productions will be working with a diverse group of people from the City Region , providing a free 12-month creative journey taking them from a blank canvas to performance ready . They will participate in evening provision classes to produce a show that reflects true life and the challenges of society today , whilst developing transferable skills . In the digital world , MD want to captivate people through creativity . Using creativity as a tool to gain transferable skills , to become interview ready , be able to pitch ideas , hold a business meeting , prepare for work , to instil self-confidence and self-esteem ; as well as help people to reach their full potential and achieve all of their hopes and dreams . Preparing for work is just like preparing for a performance .
Performing Arts is not just about the stage , it ’ s recognising that every part of this creative journey is an enhancement to life skills . The # BlankCanvas campaign was kick started with a launch & networking event , working alongside Downtown in Business , to develop partnerships with other businesses in the City Region to support # BlankCanvas by offering work experience to people , inspirational talks and sponsorship .
Founder and Creative Director Miguel Doforo said : “ I want anyone , from any area and any age within our City Region to access creativity and support for free . MD is a safe space where everyone can be themselves . We assist in removing barriers that can stand in the way including home life , education , childcare , finances , food , travel and isolation . This is more than performing arts , it ’ s everything from food which is our main ingredient to life , to connecting with the elderly who have a wealth of knowledge to share and a voice in today ’ s society . MD will wrap a support system around the whole creative journey - someone to talk to , someone to listen and signpost when needed . The link with City Region businesses will bridge the gap from community to business sector . Businesses have pledged to give inspirational talks , sponsor the project and offer work experience . It ’ s all about giving five minutes of your time to all that access # BlankCanvas .”
