As part of Creative Scotland’s presence at the Scottish Learning Festival 2011, the Molecules in Motion team worked collaboratively with 23 pupils from Gavinburn Primary School in West Dunbartonshire to produce a Creativity Lab. Festival delegates were invited to visit the Lab, where they could experience a busy working studio and witness the team at work. The Creativity Lab film provides a great insight into the project and those involved in making it happen.
In the run-up to the festival, Molecules in Motion and the pupils also produced four ‘How To’ videos to support the project, and provide a resource for teachers. Centred around a theme of Wow and Flutter, the films document the team’s preparation for the festival, as they explored the scientific and creative aspects of recording & editing soundtracks, print making, animation and dance.
The bite-sized performances are an ideal opportunity for anyone new to opera to give it a try – in a venue near them without having to book and completely for free.
The show will be popping up at a variety of unusual venues right through October including Clydebank Shopping Centre, Glasgow’s new Riverside Museum, Stirling Castle, Edinburgh’s Farmer’s Market and Surgeons’ Hall, Perth Royal Infirmary and Duthie Park’s Winter Garden. It follows on from a busy summer for the A Little Bit of…team who’ve already toured pop-up versions of previous Scottish Opera productions at the likes of T in the Park and Belladrum music festivals, Edinburgh Castle, IKEA and even a multi-storey car park in Inverness!
Creative Scotland and Young Scot have launched their new joint venture, the Creative Enterprise Fund, to support young people aged 15-22 years to develop their creative talents and fulfil their ambitions within the creative industries.
