This subject will explore the key frameworks and skills involved in designing and implementing projects in a Community Arts and Cultural Development (CACD) context.
The subject will be conducted through workshops combined with lectures, readings, group discussions, and visiting talks from leading practitioners. The practical skills explored include Interdisciplinary collaborative practice methods, performance and dialogue, facilitation and project evaluation within CACD contexts.
The emphasis of the subject is the awareness of the principles of Community Arts and Cultural Development: inclusiveness, participation, social change through art and culture, cultural values and diversity and community building. The subject will culminate in the development of a project plan for a hypothetical CACD project in a particular community context.
