Young people in Hull were involved last year in the Blah's workshop as they toured the region involving workshop participants ideas in the development of this final performance. How do you know what you want? How do you know who you are? "I've given up making decisions. For a long time now I haven't had to make any difficult decisions. We're not in control of the outcome anyway. Fate, chance, coincidence, other people. That's who it's up to. So why bother? I leave it to the dice". Luke is a dice player, a gambler with his life. He makes all the decisions using dice. But tonight that might be all about to change as the dice players meet their harshest critics and their lives, along with the presentation, start to unravel. An hour's workshop follows the performance when young people are actively engaged in exploring the themes creating Saturday 17th June, 3pm - 5pm

The Rights and Independence Social club is a lively, dynamic, and creative group of 13-18 year olds with a range of disabilities. They are keen to experience new activities and to challenge others with the result of their creative learning. The members in RISC choose their own activities, and so the project is shaped by them. They are currently examining ways in which to fundraise themselves, as there are a number of charitable organisations and hospital trusts RISC want to support. Rights and Participation Project Hull's Children's Rights Service, the Rights and Participation Project, RAPP, secured some funding from the Positive Activities for Young People's fund to run a series of creative workshops throughout the school holiday periods.
