to help with their research for topics and projects for
meeting the requirements of the National Curriculum.

help children to identify the dormant or dying arts of their
culture and to encourage them to take part in workshops
and to learn new techniques

site will be encouraged to submit material for display.

the address of which is http://www.ephemeralarts.com and
to create new links with provision of materials in libraries.

The
general public

An
opportunity to extend the audience base of the Festival
and to make an early investment in audience development.
|
|
Local
authorities

An
important source for collaboration and for generating investment
in community based arts.

authorities seek access to local expertise and for opportunities
to invest in community based arts development.

ARTISTS
|
Professional
and community artists are the most obvious collaborators in
the whole programme.
|
An
opportunity to discover local artists in each locality who
can help to make the Festival a celebration of local expertise
and interest in the ephemeral arts. People from outside
a region are recruited for their special expertise.
|
|
Academics
|
There
is scope for exploring the issues outlined above and for
developing a critical debate.
|
The
key elements of debate deal with equity in funding community
work, the need to deal with elitist provision and the scope
for generating productive networks.
|
|
Combined
Arts practitioners
|
There
is tremendous scope for developing new points of departures
for the performing arts by linking them with combined arts
|
A
combination of experimental and action research models for
networking should help to deliver better value for money
and greater returns on investment of public funding.
|
|
Multimedia
and web experts
|
There
is scope for using leading-edge video, film andmultimedia
techniques for developing the Website.
|
A
combination of multimedia techniques should help to develop
an interactive site, which will help to develop an online
Festival.
