Own the Stage
Own The Stage is a digital project aimed at a younger age group, taking RicNic’s unique approach to young people
aged 10-16 in schools and youth groups across the country. This summer, we will be piloting the project with 200
young people across Staffordshire and the West Midlands; bringing the chance for them to explore and celebrate
creative skills, build their confidence and raise their aspirations (all in a completely Covid-safe and school-bubble
way!). We then hope to offer the project out on a wider scale from September, providing free resources for all
school and youth settings. For details on how to access these resources for the 2021/22 academic year please
contact Jennifer Holyhead.
Own the Stage Day: 1st July 2021
As part of the Own the Stage project and our commitment to celebrating creativity, we are very excited to launch
Own the Stage Day - an annual showcase of all the work created within this new digital project and to highlight
creativity across the country.
This year, more than ever we think people need a chance to feel FANTASTIC! With coronavirus having such a
profound impact on everyone and access to the arts extremely restricted, we want to spend a day celebrating
creative fun! We are looking for individuals, families, groups, schools and businesses to get involved, raise some
smiles and help generate some vital funds for RicNic in the process.
1 Minute Spotlight Challenge
• Sign up following the link below to register yourself or your group! We are asking for a minimum donation from each participant. • On 1st July get dressed in anything that makes you feel amazing from your party clothes to your pyjamas! • Choose a time in your day as your ‘Curtain Up’ moment when all participants are asked to stop whatever they are doing, adopt a confident pose and hold it for 1 minute followed by a massive cheer and round of applause. So everyone gets to ‘own their stage’ for that one moment. • Photograph, film or live stream your challenge and share it to our social media pages so that we can add you to our Own the Stage Day celebrations! All funds raised from Own the Stage Day will go directly towards supporting our further projects, providing free arts access to young people. SIGN UP HERE

Own the Stage
“It turned into a family. It was very intense
and everyone truly cared. The fact it was run
by young people meant it was a safe
environment to take risks and the lack of
judgment and freedom of expression both
aided us in the creative process”
