EXHIBITION

FREE

This radical child led work comprises seven musical animated videos that explore key elements of anarchical thinking such as autonomy, kindness and human connectivity from a child’s perspective.

The short videos are bright and bold with original scores by Red Note Ensemble and songs written and performed by the children of Oakwood Primary School, Glasgow. Having viewed the work, facilitator and artist Hilary Morley will guide children through a hands on reflection of the work and their perspective of the themes explored.

Composer Brian Irvine and director John McIlduff were inspired by the 1931 publication La Anarquia Explicada a Los Niños, an instructional manual for children published during the Spanish Civil War, explaining the ideas and practices of anarchy.

Dumbworld and Red Note Ensemble | Northern Ireland & Scotland

Duration: 45 minutes

IMPORTANT NOTES:

If you would like to select this event as your 1st choice, please submit the form below. Please understand that this is a booking request, not a guarantee that places will be available. The form will ask you to indicate 2 other events that your class might enjoy, and every effort will be made to allocate all groups to a suitable performance. We also ask that you do not repeat your first preference as this lowers your groups chances of being allocated.

Booking for a single class (approx. 30 children) means you are more likely to be allocated to your preferred events. We are more than happy to accommodate larger groups, but your allocated show will depend on venue capacity. Please get in touch if you have any questions or concerns.
