Birmingham, UK
Video/content creation inspiring the children to create, communicate and tell stories in video social media/shortform styles for our in-depth participatory arts project called Every Child Is An Artist.
We are expanding our team and would like to hear from freelance artists with experience in leading music composition workshops with Apple’s Garageband, and potentially Dj’ing with Ableton Live or similar ipad apps. The aim is to inspire and introduce the children into working creatively with sound composition.
We are looking for someone to start September 2023 (1 day per week) for the autumn term at our partner primary school in Birmingham and have ongoing opportunities following this.
Every Child Is An Artist is a nationally groundbreaking programme to develop the artistic skills and abilities of all the children in our partner primary schools, across the different art disciplines. We are developing an arts curriculum in our primary schools delivered by practicing artists, working at the forefront of arts educational practice. We are looking for Digital Artists to join the team and expand on the work already undertaken.
Each term we work towards a performance, exhibition or event (inc. online) that connects with the friends and families of the children. Our website www.mercurialdance.co.uk has short films about the project.
