Promoting Young People’s Sexual Health

Getting your health promotion campaign noticed can be a challenge -
especially when your target audience is young people who often get their
information by watching rather than reading. Instead of printing another
run of those leaflets why not produce an eye-catching advert for about the
same cost?

NHS Forth Valley recently commissioned Small Majority to produce a promo for
their sexual health care services. Central Sexual Health offer testing and
treatment for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and a whole range of
advice and support.

The Small Majority team co-scripted a snappy little information film about
this great service. The film illustrates a visit to the local clinic and
encourages young people to recognise the importance of sexual health.
Shot and delivered within a week to a tight budget, the film will be
deployed on DVD, at events and online to maximise awareness throughout the
Forth Valley area.

Film celebrates the return of Margaret Morris to Perth

Our latest short documentation project celebrates the modern dance pioneer and artist Margaret Morris with a weekend of events in Perth at the Fergusson Gallery.

Margaret Morris was born in London in 1891. She was a woman of extraordinary energy and talent. As well as her pioneering work in dance she was an accomplished artist, choreographer, author and movement therapist. She first performed on the stage when she was three years old, giving recitals in English and French. In 1910, aged just 19, she opened her first School of Dance in London, training pupils in her own dance technique which she called Margaret Morris Movement (MMM).

Today, MMM continues to flourish across the globe and in 2010 celebrates its Centenary. In 2010 a collection of artwork, dance costumes and archival material relating to Margaret’s incredible life was gifted to Perth & Kinross Council by the International Association of Margaret Morris Movement. This most generous donation brings her collection under the same roof as the work of the artist JD Fergusson, her partner of 47 years. The first exhibitions of material from the collection are on show at The Fergusson Gallery until February 2010.

New Cultural Strategy DVD for Stirling

Just finished a new DVD for Stirling Council to help launch their new cultural strategy. The Council through its citizens and partner organisations wants to take forward its vision to make Stirling the cultural heart of Scotland where artists and creative and cultural activities are encouraged, valued and accessible to everyone.

Stirling Council Portfolio Holder with responsibility for Communities Councillor Steven Paterson said: Everyone living, working or studying in Stirling is a part of the cultural life of our area. Culture is about our people, how we express ourselves and celebrate through music, painting, dance, theatre and much more. We want to encourage everyone to get involved, try new things, share ideas and Enjoy Life in Stirling.”

Stirling’s Cultural Strategy is set around five key priorities:

* Build stronger cultural communities
* Capture ideas and encourage participation
* Improve cultural programmes
* Help people to keep learning and trying new things
* Build a thriving cultural economy
