🎨 Interactive workshop: Co-led by the Band, this hands-on session invites you to join in their creative music-making process
💬 Conversation: A space to connect and reflect on the day
Come and Create is a music group at Wigmore Hall, where autistic young people aged 15+ meet regularly through the year. One year ago, the Band invited (Neurocultures Collective filmmakers) Sam Chown-Ahern and Georgia Kumari Bradburn along to some sessions, where they documented a glimpse of the Come and Create experience, and what being in the Band means to the people involved.
After the film screening, and after hearing from the Band and filmmakers, there'll be an interactive workshop, where you'll be invited to join in with the creative music-making experience (Participation is optional, joining out is fine).
