Art+Organisation

The Arts Centre will play a dual role in the delivery of the project at Moreland Primary School: · Providing mentorship for teaching staff in the coordination and delivery of a large scale theatrical production within the school – including all elements of mounting such a production plus identification of cross-curricular opportunities. · Providing access to a range of appropriate professional artists to work with students – under the guidance of an appointed director – to explore all aspects of theatre making and workshop, rehearse and present several performances of a theatrical production to the wider school community.
 * Briefly outline the Arts Organisation’s role in the school. **

The Arts Centre will partner with Moreland Primary School at all stages of the project: · Design, planning & mapping. · Support for interdisciplinary learning through incorporation of related units of study into workshops/rehearsals. · Involvement and guidance in the creation of all non-performed aspects to the production – e.g. set, props, lights. · Documentation and evaluation.
 * Arts Organisations role in the development and production of any collaborative work. **

The Arts Centre anticipates that as many as five professional artists, two Alfred Brash SoundHouse staff members and two administrative staff will contribute to the design and delivery of this project. The approximate number of delivery days in Moreland Primary School will be as many as 30-35 days across 2010 – the bulk of which would be in Terms 3 & 4.
 * Approximate number of days that the Arts Organisation will work in the school. **
