clubs in Jamaica

Oct 31, 2009

Do you love going to the clubs? Most  young  people love going to the clubs on a Friday  night, some guys go every Friday night like clock work  right after work.some clubs are very expensive but you have others that are quite reasonable. Most clubs in Jamaica had different rules,such as a certain type of dress code (no half naked girls allowed) you know young  girls love to dress up with short shirts way above their knees and if they bend down you can see every thing you shouldn’t, which I don’t think is appropriate to wear when going to certain places. If you are going to the beach well thats ok 

Clubs in Jamaica has different features like live entertainment, drink all night where you only pay to go in and you get free drinks all night but lol lol you know that there have to be a catch and it is instead of paying the regular fee to go in you would pay about $10 to $20 extra lol lol you didn’t know what they have to have some thing up their sleeve  didn’t yah!!!! any way they have  Ladies night too where all ladies goes in free, Ha Ha some guys will go  as far as dress up like ladies just to get in free can you believe it, Oh no they never get away

with it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then last but not least you have couples night, where you don’t have a girl you are not allowed in and you only pay one money for both of you. Oh Yea I know what you are thinking nooooooooo no gay couple ALLOWED not in Jamaica clubs.

Now you tell me which one of the nights you would rather go oh oh I don’t have to guess which one DRINK ALL NIGHT am I right i know alright on that nights its always packed.

Hi I have no hardship story really.  I’m looking for philanthropy as opposed to charity.  I’m an individual living in the Jamaica, trying to launch a small organisation to use Art as therapy.  The idea is multifaceted but let me try to explain.   It is easier to get funding where private interest is served. However my first project Writers Workshops serves is firstly in the interest of the participants.  Hence I am having difficulty finding sponsors. First my motivationso       There is a lot of violence in my country; people have a hard time communicatingo       There is unemployment and people lack resources to START to help themselveso       The art forms are reflecting the fall or our society without seeking any redemption through it. So I started thinking about my own life.  I love poetry and am pursuing; to one day do this full time.  My parents introduced me to Art and Classical forms and I have fostered these interests. I feel these experiences have fortified me to live differently.  Many people here lack that exposure of nurturing environment.   I see the creative industries as a useful tool to start dialogue, broaden horizons, provide jobs and use creativity as therapy; part of the process of healing a nation.  The problem is accessibility. To achieve this I am trying to launch three projects. 1.      Workshops for the public and persons in Correctional Facilities 

The film industry is developing rapidly but there are limited scripts.  This workshop is to teach people how to create a marketable product.  It is a means of  collaboration of people from different parts of society in a hope to start a dialogue that will be introspective and healing.

 2.      Opera  

Revive theatre in Jamaica as a window to different social commentaries. This will diversify our cultural products and generate new capital generating ideas.  The music and theatre industry in Jamaica is a great source of information and helps to direct social norms but it is becoming a moral chop shop.   Introducing classical forms will help impact on how music and theatre is produced

 3.      Touring Festival 

This is a channel for persons to exhibit the products being generated in society.  To challenge stereotypes about the country and to redefine Jamaica to the Diaspora.  This is to encourage a wider dialogue and an understanding of how social responsibility affects the global community.

 

My challenge is as a single person that works in Jamaica.  I can’t generate the US currency to pay for resources.

 SO WHAT DO I WANT?

 

I need assistance to pay mentors for the screenwriting workshops. This is for the public and persons in correctional facilities.  This is because the project will not be charging participants.  The first set in the series will cost 10,000 US dollars.  6 thousand for mentors and the rest for facilities.  The mentor fee for the public class and the correctional facilities class are 3000 each.   I would be grateful for anything.

 

I also need help in terms of planning the Festival, which is to tour the country.  I’m trying to find commercial sponsors.   And the Opera I’m also trying to find sponsors here. I know this isn’t the typical need here but I thought id post it anyway and hope I don’t offend those persons who are more in need.

 

NGO's are welcome
