Next Network Meeting:
Thursday 7th November 2019 at Bexhill College 4-6pm
following the Navigating the Changing Educational Landscape training session (see below).
Agenda:
" Making waves in Hastings" A year-long residency in Hastings of the Britain's longest established chamber orchestra. Building on the success of the embedding of the London Mozart Players in the community of St John's in Upper Norwood, the orchestra has been funded by both local charities, Foyle Foundation and the Arts Council to draw in a new audience for Classical music through outreach, education and collaboration as well as bringing high profile artists to perform in Hastings.
“National Literacy Trust Hastings Hub – introducing a Punchdrunk immersive teacher-led adventure The aim of the project is to inspire and develop imaginative teaching practices for literacy, which place the teacher at the centre of the creativity and build an exciting adventure for young people in Years 1-4. Through this, the project aims to motivate and inspire young people to write creatively, and train teachers in new skills to facilitate this through an immersive narrative.”
The inaugural Hastings International Piano Festival presents engagement opportunities taking place this February/March in the Concerto Competition's first year off as it moves to being a biennial competition. These opportunities not only include free tickets to local young people to many of the festival events, but workshops with national orchestras, song-writing masterclasses with international singer songwriters, interactive kids concerts and much more.
UnderWired Productions are bringing their family musical, “The Lost Toys’ Big Christmas Adventure!” to The Sussex Studio at The White Rock Theatre in Hastings. "As a charity, one of our objectives is to support affordable, comprehensive access to theatre, particularly in communities where there's limited opportunity. With severe cuts to arts funding in schools, we want to talk to teachers about the show we’ve created and to better understand the challenges they’re facing."
Presentations from Network Meeting and AGM: Tuesday 18th June at Hastings Museum & Art Gallery

Boys Don't
What’s a boy to do? From the playground to the classroom, from home to the uncharted waters of online, boys learn that displaying their feelings is a no-no. But what happens to emotion that can’t be let out?
Through funny, familiar and sometimes heartbreaking stories drawn from the real-life experiences of its cast of poets and spoken word performers, Boys Don’t delivers insights into male experiences of growing up, and offers the possibility of more open communication for us all.

Hastings and Rother Music Month February 14th - March 17th
|
•Arises from aspiration for Hastings and Rother to be recognised as a “Music City”
•This recognises the current wealth of musical talent and events in the area •Provides the context for building on these strengths for the sector to develop professionally A Music City, by its simplest definition, is a place with a vibrant music economy. There is growing recognition among governments and other stakeholders that Music Cities can deliver significant economic, cultural, educational and social benefits. The essential elements of Music Cities are:
Residents of Hastings have been judged to have the highest level of musical sophistication by researchers from Goldsmiths, University of London and BBC Lab UK in their highly regarded PLOS ONE journal. We think Hastings and Rother can justifiably lay claim to the title. The first initiative is going to be branding 14 February – 17 March 2017 as Music Month encompassing some of the area’s best music events including Fat Tuesday and the Hastings International Piano Concerto Competition.
