In September 2010 the first Joint Music Master for New Audiences and Innovative Practice students presented their thesis project at the Royal Conservatoire. But what are these alumni doing now?
The first graduates of the Joint Master work in various fields: they lead creative workshops, are active in ensembles which are able to make creative connections with their audience and they work with various target groups such as children in underprivileged situations or with disabilities related to autism. For an example of this kind of work, please visit the websites of Nicola Tosic and Janneke Daalderop.
Marjolein Stots is working in the vocal ensemble Wishful Singing. On the ensemble’s website their music is described as ‘vocal music on bright-blue pumps'. The ensemble’s strength is making connections with the audience in which theatric elements also play a part.
Also read the report of the Expertmeeting about Community Arts and Innovative Practices in Johannesburg, South-Afriva where Marjolein Stots presented the project Afterschool in November 2011. And, finally, Marcello Windolph is currently leading creative workshops with autistic children in a project by the foundation Stichting Papageno.
The Joint Master was developed in collaboration with the Prince Claus Conservatoire in Groningen, the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague, the Guildhall School of Music & Drama in London, the Iceland Academy of the Arts in Reykjavik and representatives from institutions in Finland, the United States and Sweden. The master programme was initiated and co-designed by the Research Group Lifelong Learning in Music & the Arts.
