Artist Mentor

About The Job

is looking to fill this vacancy 06/08/08

We are seeking to engage an artist-mentor to facilitate and support the creative and professional development of three musicians/mentees who will be working with the artistic team to develop their forthcoming project, Connecting Across Difference.

Throughout the project (October 08-March 09) the mentor will work closely with the creative team, which will include a lead musician/composer, a visual artist, a music technologist and three disabled musicians/artists who are interested in developing their practice and gaining experience in working in outreach and education.

The project consists of a series of workshops with young musicians, from mainstream and special schools, at primary and secondary level in the borough of Tower Hamlets. These will culminate in a mixed media masque or opera at Bethnal Green Museum of Childhood, co-created and performed by all participants in March 2009.

The theme for the season is Connecting Across Difference. This is intended to catalyse imaginative and playful explorations of the joys and the strains (or challenges) of encountering, communicating and coming to know people who are different; who speak differently, have different ambitions, interests, skills and abilities, or who have different traditions and histories.

The workshops and final performance will take the toys, games and play activities at Bethnal Green Museum of Childhood as their inspiration and context.
