What working together can look like
Here are three examples of how a starting point becomes a shared project. Each shows a different setting, way of working and kind of collaboration.
Museum of London & Riverside Special School
Museum · SEND · Bassoon · Sensory Practice
Five weeks of live music, tactile materials and sensory storytelling, developed with school staff around pupils’ responses.
Odyssey — Riverside SEND Project
SEND · Sensory Story · Drama · Soundscape
A shared story world shaped across several sessions, with soundscapes, a cardboard boat and room to join, watch and return.
Manchester Art Gallery & Ad Hoc Dance
Gallery · Dance · Bassoon · Performance
A collaborative promenade performance bringing live bassoon, movement and the gallery collection together.
If one of these projects connects with an idea for your setting, tell me what you have in mind. We can explore the people, priorities and practical arrangements together.
