Shine
Music participation programme for people with Intellectual Disabilities
Calling Local Musicians and Music Facilitators!
Hawk’s Well Theatre has been awarded funding from Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission Grant Scheme for our SHINE: Music participation programme for people with Intellectual Disabilities.
The aim of this project, informed by input from people with intellectual disabilities, is to eradicate ableism and ageism by integrating disability accessibility into our theatre's approach and programme. This will involve training musicians and music facilitators to understand and engage with diverse audiences, leading to a series of music workshops for older people with intellectual disabilities. This project will add to a whole of organisation approach to increase diversity at our theatre, strengthened community partnership, and trained musicians and music facilitators to work in this field.
Local Musicians and Music Facilitators interested in participating in this training opportunity on Saturday 25th November 2-5pm or on Monday 29th of January 2 -5pm are invited to send a short statement of interest to maeve@hawkswell.com by 17th November 2023.
