I’m a trustee on the board of Grow Big early years charity and we went out for a meal on Thursday. I had a great chat with one of our team about performing and delivering workshops for children. The performance mechanisms for engaging and sparking imagination in children, the struggles of getting some children to think creatively when they’re in a heavily structured education system.
The crisis in education and especially in arts education under this awful government is frequently discussed at Art Lab. Another Grow Big colleague has extensive knowledge and experience in this sector so he’s going to come and talk about this and his practice at a forthcoming Art Lab session. How do we talk about art and deliver creative sessions for the next generation of artists and art audience in the face of creativity being systematically devalued and destroyed?
