John Swan Atrium at the Gordon Schools

Fair Access at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland are super proud to have supported 8 young people, known as The Care Group at the Gordon Schools in Huntley, Aberdeenshire. They worked together over a three-month period with Graeme Roger (film and visual arts), Dave Martin (music production) and Ross Carbarns (DJ, performer, writer). Together they explored a range of artforms inspired by art gallery visits, beach walks and from spending time together as a group.

Their work will be presented in a public exhibition, taking place at the John Swan Atrium at the Gordon Schools, Monday 28 November at 6:30-7:30pm. If you are in the area, why not pop your head into the exhibition – we think you’ll love it.

A few weeks ago, some of our Fair Access team travelled by train to Aberdeenshire for a spooky Halloween visit to Slains Castle, said to be the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s Dracula. We met with The Care Group from the Gordon Schools in Huntley on a windswept and wild photography, film and sound adventure. We’ve been partnering with Wildbird and The Care Group on a 3-month project and we’re heading back up to see their amazing exhibition later this month. Can’t wait!

While we were up North, we paid a visit to the Creative Team at Eden Court in Inverness. We’ve got plans afoot to work with Eden Court to support Deaf learners at the theatre and beyond.  We’re heading up the road with a team from our BA Performance crew who will deliver Visual Performance sessions in British Sign Language and English at Dingwall Academy and also at Eden Court where they deliver a whole host of performing arts SQA Drama programmes.  We’ll be at Dingwall Academy on 2 December and Eden Court 3 December.

We are also working in partnership with Eden Court to develop and deliver hands-on activity for young people and their teachers interested in exploring the Production Arts. You can find out more about RCS Production Arts degree programmes on the RCS website. 

A mighty thank you to Aberdeenshire, Highland and Ross-shire for being so welcoming! Watch this space to find out more about our Northerly activity over the coming year.
