Accessible Arts Newsletter

The latest Accessible Arts Newsletter (2013, #2), is now available online here.

As always it gives news of artists and arts events, training and opportunities.  This item might be of particular interest to some people with Down syndrome:
Movement and Sound Workshop with Dean Watson and The Australian Chamber OrchestraMovement and dance facilitator Dean Watson and The Australian Chamber Orchestra (ACO) musicians will work with a group of students in years 10 to 12 with disability to inspire the development of movement to classical music.  
Using images and props to inspire conversation, participants will be encouraged to communicate personal experiences and stories to create movement from their dialogue. Students with a physical and/or intellectual disability with experience in movement or dance are encouraged to apply to be apart of the workshop experience. 
 For successful applicants the workshops will be held on Saturday 26 May, and Wednesday 5 June at the ACO studio. Applications close Friday 3 May 2013.
