Hackney Impact Arts Academy

Mouth That Roars, Rising Tide and Eastside Educational Trust have been supported by Hackney Children's Services to provide Hackney Young People aged between 13-19 years some exciting opportunites over the next two years.

HIAA Young Stars Get Musical!

Gaining funding from the London Development Agency; MTR, Rising Tide and Eastside Educational Trust ran a two week summer programme through July-August 2009 where young people from all across Hackney worked on all features of producing a musical. Young people worked through the process of singing, dancing, filming and scripting to produce the fantastic musical ‘A Typical Day’ which will premiere at the BFI on 28th November 2009.

“I enjoyed working with different people, learning new songs and dance moves. I was able to express my opinion by saying how I felt we could improve some of the scenes we filmed.” - Riann

“ I enjoyed the fact that I got to use expensive equipment and learnt how to operate it. I liked being trusted with the stuff. [The project was] better than I thought it would be actually!” - Josie
