Beyond Barriers: Practical workshop on how to gain outreach skills
mentored by Mark Withers
02 - 05 May 2022
Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel
The Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel has at heart to share music with a very large public and to broaden the field of social applications offered to young talents enrolled in all the disciplines taught within the institution.
With the support of Foundation Futur21, La Chapelle developed the “Community projects” Chair to reach out to new audiences that don’t have easy access to music (precarious situation, refugees, prisoners, hospitalized people, and many others) and to transmit musical education to disadvantaged children.
As part of this global project, the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel proposed a 4-day workshop around outreach skills and aims to raise awareness on audience diversity & equality matters, but mostly to give to this younger generation of artists the keys and tools they need to develop new ways of sharing their art and bond with the widest possible audience.
To do so, the workshop, mentored by Mark Withers will focus on practical preparation before “real-life situations” with 2 different “target groups” (still to be defined). Participants will be divided in 2 groups, each one working with a different public.
Creativity and Improvisation will be at the center of these sessions to promote as much as possible a participatory dimension for the audience.
This workshop will be lead by Mark Withers, clarinetist and coordinator of participatory educational projects. Mark designs and leads creative education and outreach projects as well as training programmes for artists working in the field.
