The main objective of this workshop is to share expertise and meet other artists in the field of participatory arts practice. We invite participants to bring a piece of their own work to discuss participatory arts practice in opera and music theatre.

This workshop will be led by An De bisschop & An Van den Bergh and additional guest speakers. An Van den Bergh (info & bio) is an independent expert and process supervisor in participation and inclusion in the arts and culture sector. An De bisschop is lecturer at KASK/Conservatory Ghent and visiting professor at Ghent University (https://www.cesamm.eu), her teaching and research is focussed on participatory music practices.

We use the group as a sounding board and link personal learning experiences to issues that are discussed in various substantive modules :

Module 1: Vision & background on participatory music practices

Module 2: Dealing with power differences

Module 3: Artistic-participatory strategies in co-creation

Module 4: Musicians and the social impact of music making
