MIE 572 - Performing Artists in Community Outreach

Institution:

The New England Conservatory of Music

Subject:

Description:

Offers students the opportunity to understand the relationship between artists and community. Will revolve around class projects that are designed, organized, and performed by student work groups, guided by the teacher and in collaboration with community leaders. Students will learn how to initiate contact with communities, assess community needs, design and execute performance-centered programs, and assess the impact of their work on the communities in which they serve, as well as themselves as performing artists and cultural leaders. Through real world experiences that put them into contact with a wide and diverse range of community agencies - community centers, homeless shelters, senior citizen facilities, hospitals, prisons, and schools - students will learn how to search out, articulate, and bring to bear the "common ground" that lies between their personal artistic accomplishment and the practical needs of communities. In support of these ventures, the course will draw on a range of guest speakers from the NEC faculty and the broader Boston arts community. (2 credits) Burdick
