Dunblane Centre NEwsletter
A vision for the Dunblane Centre 2018 and beyond
Background As we move into spring (yes I know it might still be snowing!!) we also move into a new era at the Dunblane Centre. We are working on the vision for what we provide, as well as our delivery for the remainder of 2018 - already there are new pre-school, youth & adult activities and programmes, and additions to our fi tness timetable.
Arts in particular are under review. A part of our community off ering since we fi rst opened the doors, arts activities have ranged from pre-school arts and music groups to drama workshops, choirs and multiple full scale shows. These activities have served almost all age groups and we will continue to add to and review these as demand continues.
Our Performing Arts specifi cally has grown year on year, from a small group of keen enthusiasts to a large group of committed young people, adults and volunteers. On behalf of everybody at the Centre, we’d like to take this opportunity to thank Pamela Mackie, and the team of acting and production volunteers, for their outstanding commitment here and, as Leigh also mentions, wish Pamela well in her future plans for an independent production company.
The future We are now looking to set out a new vision, across the range of services we off er but beginning with arts. We aim to refl ect community feedback, make it complementary to what’s already available elsewhere and remain committed to making it aff ordable and accessible. This might involve working with independent providers, could include a variety of arts (visual, musical, crafts etc.), including pre-school, school age, and diff erent adult age range activities. However, above all, the direction of our arts programme needs to be strongly infl uenced by, and co-designed with, relevant parts of our community and with 2018 being the designated ‘Year of Young People’ we invite our young people to be a full part of that process.
Expressive Arts We’re beginning by consulting on expressive (inc. performing) arts specifi cally, particularly with those with a known interest or involvement in the current programme. Our starting point is that we want to: •
continue performing arts, as part of an arts programme which engages and includes all parts of the wider Dunblane community,
• •
broaden inclusion – i.e. all age and participation groups interested in creating, performing, staging, supporting or even just viewing the end result.
be aspirational in our thinking and off ering– we could be including workshops and classes around drama, song writing, screen writing, singing and music, culminating in performances. It might be you want to see masterclasses in areas like audition techniques, acting & stage skills, supporting your passion, confi dence and career.
We are in the process of rolling out consultation and we aim to have more to announce later this Spring. There is a lot to get involved with so we hope to see you here soon!
