FLOATING WORLDS
Posted on May 15, 2009
| Manchester Camerata’s Floating Worlds project, in collaboration with the Royal Exchange Theatre and supported by Youth Music, ran weekly throughout the Autumn term 2008. It provided a rare opportunity for young people aged 10-13 with High Functioning Autism and Asperger’s Syndrome to take part in creative musical activities; something they would normally find it difficult to access due to their particular disability. The project gave these young people a safe environment in which to discover their artistic talents, and to develop friendships, some for the very first time.
