JACK'S POINT OF VIEW ON THE CHARITY
"This charity is not solely about producing the next generation of Actors and Dancers. All Actors and Dancers are creative, however not all creatives are found on the stage.
Every scientific breakthrough that ever happened was because someone had an idea . The reason I receive life saving Cystic Fibrosis medication everyday is because of creativity. It's because someone thought creatively about a problem... and invented something.
They planned it. They made it. They did it again. They did it better.
Creativity, in every sense, is the life blood of society.
It’s about teaching children it’s okay to be ambitious! MORE THAN OKAY! It’s to be encouraged. Giving them permission to dream the extraordinary" - Jack Norris.
BEN KEATON- MY FRIEND AND MENTOR
Ben Keaton is a multi-award-winning actor - Olivier Nominee, 3 Manchester Evening News Best Actor Awards and winner of the prestigious Perrier Award. Jack is proud to call him a friend and mentor.
Alongside Ben's successful career as a performer he founded Creativity Academy in 2021 after being concerned about the lack of Arts Funding in schools.
Jack and Ben met whilst working together as performers back in 2020. Their friendship grew to the point Jack was offered a position on the board of trustees.
