A murmuration is, by its very nature, a collaborative act.
WHAT WE DO
Murmuration Arts is a participatory arts organisation with over 14 years experience delivering community engagement projects.
We focus on projects which adopt a co-creation approach – we create collaboratively with communities.
We connect with and build community through street theatre, site-responsive performance, participatory dance, music, reminiscence sessions, intergenerational workshops, cooking together, sharing stories, oral history projects and craft activities… and we love playing games!
OUR VALUES
We are passionate about widening opportunities for people to engage in the arts.Our creative process involves in-depth research with communities, focusing on building & maintaining relationships.
Each project we work on aims to create a unique shared experience, connecting communities & giving people a voice & platform on which to tell their stories.
The people we meet are the experts of their lives, we start by listening to them.
We believe that by instilling a sense of ownership, by increasing confidence, social ties & social cohesion, communities feel a greater investment in their future. By sharing agency and the decision making process Murmuration Arts can empower individuals to develop their own artistic expression. As artists, we in turn seek to learn from the people we work with. Through social interaction and active participation we aim to improve the health and wellbeing for everyone involved.
