The Creative Bug offers arts workshops in an unrivalled, diverse range of artistic disciplines, in from fashion, film, sculpture, carnival arts to poetry and music. Groups work together to produce a final outcome. This takes the form of performance, publication or exhibition. We are committed to high quality outputs for the projects.
The Creative Bug has experience working with a wide range of backgrounds, cultures, and abilities and will offer out a range of packages to clients.
Workshop programmes offered will be either standard or tailor-made.
Standard programmes
The Creative Bug is developing a portfolio of standard accredited and non accredited programmes, offered at specific prices. As the same standard projects will be delivered to different groups, workshops development costs will be kept low.
Tailor-made programmes – programmes are co-designed on request for groups and individuals. These kinds of programmes will allow individuals / groups to have more flexibility in the choice of the workshop format and content in order to meet specific needs. Tailor-made projects have been successfully offered to a variety of groups in the past. The issue based workshops in particular will suit this format. The Creative Bug will offer them at a higher price, to cover development time costs.
Themes
Workshops can have a variety of different focuses:
- Creativity
- Identity
- Environment
- Cultural diversity in a local context
- Children’s Rights – The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child
- Issues – Bullying, Drugs, Alcohol, Identity, Physical and Emotional Wellbeing
Issue based workshops
Issue based workshop packages will deal with hard to tackle social issues (cultural identity, bullying, drug awareness, children’s rights etc) using visual and performing arts as a means for directing discussion. Using a variety of art forms the facilitators will introduce the topic to be addressed and begin discussions. Facilitators will then use visual art as medium to create group and individual pieces of work that show an understanding of the concepts discussed. The finished work and documentation of the project can form a display for the school/centre which can in itself be a starting point for discussion with others who have not attended workshop sessions.
Our art workshop services have been successfully delivered to schools, community groups, and arts, voluntary and public organisations and have been commissioned by Local Councils, Housing Associations, Pubs and Clubs, Festivals, Hospital Trusts and of course community-based organisations.
