Behind The Spotlight Youth Creative Workshops

If your child loves fashion, music, photography, video, or performing, this is an opportunity for them to explore their creativity in a safe, inspiring, and hands-on environment.

Behind The Spotlight is hosting a special workshop day designed to introduce young creatives to real industry skills in fashion, music, and media. Students will learn directly from professional runway models, music artists, photographers, videographers, and film professionals who work in these industries.

Our goal is to help youth discover their talent, build confidence, and see the possibilities within creative careers.

This event is hosted at New Heat Studios with the runway workshop taking place outdoors.

Parents can choose one of the morning workshops and may also add the media workshop afterward.

Because the Fashion and Music workshops happen at the same time, students cannot register for both.

Students may register for:

• Fashion + Media
OR
• Music + Media

Please read carefully before registering.

• The Fashion and Music workshops take place at the same time, so students cannot sign up for both.

• Students can sign up for either Fashion or Music, and they may also add the Media workshop afterward.

• All workshops have limited capacity.

To ensure proper supervision and safety:

• Parents should only register for the number of children they are personally responsible for.

• After registration, you will receive a participant form that must be completed so each child is registered under their own name and information.

This helps us properly manage attendance and ensure the best experience for all participants.

These workshops are great for youth who are interested in:

• Modeling and fashion
• Music and songwriting
• Photography and video production
• Performing and creative expression
• Exploring careers in creative industries

No prior experience is required.
