Once the 'Motivator' is complete the weekly ‘Mission’ will be revealed: Every Monday a new stimulus will be announced, in the form of a piece of music, a piece of text, a picture, a photograph, a feeling for example. Each student will then use whichever creative expression they desire to create an original piece of performance/visual art such as; a recited original poem, a performed monologue/short story, a dance, a song, a played piece of music, a painting, a sculpture/model, etc. The only stipulation is that the performance pieces are a maximum of 2 minutes in length.

If people miss the live session they will be able to watch it at their leisure in this groups timeline.

Quoting piece 1 – 10 (students not voting for themselves). The name of the winning piece will be announced as a post on this group at 5pm every Friday.
