The Launch of the knife crime project was really successful. We had a really impressive turn out. The day it was launched was set up like an exhibition, with a Knife detector arch and a selection of different stand from other organizations working in partnership with The Drop Inn.

RE:space [1]

This is just a name for refurbishmnets being made to the Drop Inn over the next year. There are quite a few dates and weekends scheduled for the re-design of our space. We have important structural changes and so decorating changes to make. The over all picture is to use what space we've got the best we can. This year we will be looking at re-designing the lounge, and changing it into a games room, leaving us enough space in the main room for functions and a possible indoor skate park! Look for the up and coming Re:space dates and watch how we are up dating The Drop Inn Centre.

New random Graffiti session

As we keep advertising our graffiti wall we do like to see it change as frequent as possible. This is the latest instilation, which was an experiment with spay cans and paint on a white background. The results looked pretty cool but only lasted a week and a half before being covered ready for the knife crime launch (In which we needed a white wall for our exhibition.) Now the wall has been planned for some 5mm marker style art work, which will really look impressive under the U.V lighting.

D.I.Y.I

The DROP INN YOUTH IMAGE venture is starting soon. You may have noticed the growing number of D-i clothes walking round. This was just a promotion but has been expanded into a fashion project. The ideas is that you design your own clothes and we will try and produce them. The end of this project will give you the chance to show off your original clothe designs to the public, at the Drop Inn fashion week. We will also be looking at approaching local businesses and see if we can get any of the best designs on the market. I'm think we'll see some really interesting designs! Looking forward to it!

TALK? Performance
Originally uploaded by thedropinn

The first performance we've been putting together. The performance is based on communication through the generations, which leads to a discussion about how people used to communicate with drums and movement. The Performance is a combination between a projected film interacting with a live dance routine with live drumming sessions. We had a technical issue but still pleased all the guests at the conference in Matlock.
