2011 CAUX ARTISTS PROGRAM!

2011 CAUX ARTISTS PROGRAM!

 

The Caux Artists Program (CAP) is presented in association with Renewal Arts, an international network of people who share the conviction that the different forms of art can be positive and powerful forces for changing our personal lives and the wider world. Renewal Arts has presented International Forums in Caux, gathering hundreds of participants from all over the world. Renewal Arts grew out of Initiatives of Change, a diverse, global network committed to building trust across the world's divides. It is comprised of people of many cultures, nations, beliefs and backgrounds who are committed to transforming society through individual and inter-relational change, starting in their own lives.

The participants are a select group of 30 artists from diverse cultural and faith backgrounds who have made a professional commitment to work in the fields of dance, music or music theatre. CAP is seeking to invite singer/actors, singer/instrumentalists, dancer/singers and broad-based musicians who have a vested interest in exploring the power of art as a catalyst for change in society, while at the same time strengthening their artistic skill and vision.

Dates and Cost

The CAP lasts two weeks running from July 25 to August 8, 2011 during the Initiatives of Change summer conference season. Successful applicants are required to pay $1,800 (approx. 1,265 Euros). This includes all course fees, materials, accommodation and meals. SCHOLARSHIPS ARE AVAILABLE!
