Our College

All students choose a major subject to focus on when they join, and this currently includes drama, dance, music, creative arts, or film and media.

✉️ Presenting: Word Collision Project by Otis.

As part of an exciting pilot programme that supports young #Disabled adults with hands-on work experience, creative industry insight and mentoring, #Orpheus student Otis has been working on this project.

He has created a series of artworks made into 5 unique postcards, that have so far been handed to businesses along with Orpheus staff to also pass on to friends and family, who have then been taking the postcards on their travels to photograph.

We’re aiming to get his work in as many places around the world as possible, and it’s already made it as far as Australia 🌏

Keep checking in on our website for more updates on the project and to see where Otis’ work has travelled to! ⬇️
