Milapfest, in partnership with Manchester Museum and Band on the Wall, are inviting expressions of interest in a day of Indian Arts Workshops on 19 March 2018 10am-2.30pm at Manchester Museum.
Classes will spend the day learning one of four art forms, culminating in a final performance for other students and the public at the end of the day.
Workshops may include:
- Tabla (North Indian Classical Percussion)
- Bharatnatyam (South Indian Classical Dance)
- Storytelling with hand and facial gestures (mudras)
- Rangoli Art
- Kathak (North Indian Classical dance)
These workshops will be delivered to suit the ages and abilities of the class, and are designed to be fully inclusive and interactive. The tutors for these workshops are sourced by Milapfest based on their expertise and experience in their field, several of whom are world-renowned artists and tutors.
The day is arranged through New North and South and is kindly funded by Arts Council England. It is also supporting development of Manchester Museum’s new South Asia Gallery as part of the Courtyard Project.
We have space for a limited number of students, from Reception to KS4.
Please click here to express your interest in the event before 5pm on Friday 16 February 2018.
Selected classes will be notified by 2 March. Priority will be given to schools who can explain how this day would enrich their wider curriculum.
The day’s activities are fully-funded, though schools will need to provide their own transport. For questions please contact amy.mcdowall@manchester.ac.uk.
