Arts Lab 8.0 | Are you a Djembe Player/Percussionist?
ASOCIATIA SUPER TINERI (ASIRYS)
Târgu Frumos, Romania
Description
If music is your strongest passion and you want to use it to connect with people, tell stories and bring communities together, Music Lab could be your next adventure. You will create songs, soundscapes, recordings and live performances inspired by Romanian folklore, Cucuteni heritage, Jewish memory, Roma culture and emotional wellbeing. You will facilitate creative workshops with children and young people, join art residencies and caravans across Romania, perform during festivals and community events and collaborate with dancers, actors, ceramists and visual artists. Your music will become part of five experiential museums created for our town. The experience will be intensive, creative and full of real contact with local communities. By the end, you will have new artistic work, practical experience and a stronger international portfolio. Check the infopack: https://canva.link/artslabeight.

You will receive 150 euro/month (food money) and 4 euro/per day (pocket money). These money are enough for the living standards in Târgu Frumos. We will reimburse the travel costs based on a lump sum and we will help you figure out how to reach us. Târgu Frumos is a small and safe town, located close to Iași, which is the second-largest city in Romania and a vibrant cultural space.
Training during the activity
Our training programs include Romanian language, diverse crafting and non-formal methods, and two trainings provided by the Romanian National Agency. You'll also have the chance to collaborate with other passionate volunteers and learn from former Arts Lab participants about their unique experiences. Our volunteers frequently describe Arts Lab as a life-changing experience, and we're committed to staying in touch for the long term. In fact, we're already planning a conference for all 100 Arts Lab volunteers in 2028!
