How might this work in reality?
My experience of ‘cultural partnerships’
At my previous school (Charles Edward Brooke, Lambeth): • Workshops with Tomorrow’s Warriors • Summer residencies at the British Film Institute • Workshops with animateur Hannah Conway • Schools’ workshops at LSO St Luke’s and the Southbank Centre • Lambeth Music Festival at the Southbank Centre • Visits to concerts and shows At my current school (Woodford County High School, Redbridge): • Pre-concert workshops through the Wigmore Hall Education programme • In-school workshop with Kinetika Bloco • Students entering Royal Opera House ‘Fanfare’ competition • Redbridge Music Festival at the Royal Albert Hall • Visits to concerts, operas, ballets and shows
How?
-Look up education programmes on websites -Make contact with organisations- and be persistent!
-Join mailing lists -Check your emails regularly...!
Potential problems...
-Getting students (and staff) off-timetable -Relatively short notice of concert dates etc.
-Costs – tickets, transport, workshop charges...
If all else fails...
-Evening concerts -Workshops after school -Run your own workshops – resources and INSET available
