ARTS FESTIVAL INSPIRATION - FESTIVAL OF THE ARTS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
Various venues. Glasgow, Sat 23 Oct- Fri 5 Nov
Glasgow City COLincil's 'lnspiration' festwal is now seven years old. yet l‘i‘) current form little resembles that of the formative years. From its origins, as a sohools' festival focusing on ideas drawn from literature. it has evolved to heeorne much more incluswe and n'ride-ranging. no longer limited to the .vritten word, or men to the classroom.
‘The feeling was that it should he extended, so we do more fainin event', now. and events Out of school time.‘ explains co-ordinzgitor Maggie Singleton. ‘lt also covers a broad spectrum of art forms and tries to get a balance of aetixitie', for the different age groups.‘
Even/thing from dance and musw; to visual art and poetry is now coxered. .’/lTll events falling into two age categories: pre—five and primary. and ‘Youthfest'. aimed at secondahy pupils and youth groups.
Many of this year's perfOrmances and workshops for the younger children have an African flavoor. in celebration of ten years of South African freedom Youthfent. meanwhile. features larger-scale events Such as ‘Urhan Artwork? in the CCA and 'Soma Skool'. Organised by Sonia Records. to give the next generation of budding talent more insight into the artistic industries.
One thing that's remained Since the early days is the airr of widening interest and participation in the arts. ‘The programme ranges from workshop ét’,ll.’|||’;‘,. which are schools-based. to performances. which are about lflf,[)|(ll|(} and motivating yOUng people. to events where they get Il'thfFllallOll about ho to get involved' says Singleton. And with prices sobsudised so few event< cost more than a pOund. there's no reason not to. Chris Bradleyi I For detar/s of pub/rc events see /istrngs.
