expressions april 1

Expressions a creative group of disabled people in a public performance of songs at the Maltings Day Centre on Thursday April 1st at 1 pm. Everyone is welcome. Expressions are a voluntary group of people with physical disabilities 
in Wolverhampton. We are led by a majority of disabled people. Our
purpose is to support people with physical disabilities to be creative.
To realise, and develop talent. We want to bring the arts and music to 
people by organising events. We want to develop partnerships, to achieve our aims and benefit disabled artists and disabled people.
 With support from the national lottery members of Expressions have been attending workshops by singer Sami Cornick and disabled artist Robin Surgeoner. Together they have been writing and singing songs for the performance on April 1st to mark the end of a new beginning.



Micheal Haynes said, "Singing helps relieve the pressure of life and 
helps you forget your aches and pains. After singing, it makes you feel 
better"

Veronica Brindley said,"It gives you confidence, before I was afraid to
 sing, Sami has patience and it helps you get rid of all your problems, 
just for a while anyway"

Margaret Harper said that disabled artist Robin Surgeoner, "Gets your
 mind working. I felt like I had a headache from thinking and I mean that
 in the nicest way. Robin presented a lot to think about, he was
 uplifting and inspiring. He was able to help us put words to our 
feelings, about the centre closing and turn them into a song, a song of
 our own that we could sing."

Singer Sami Cormick, It's fantastic to have the opportunity of teaching 
people something that they really enjoy. You can see the benefits in
 peoples expressions, we laugh and smile.
