Baroque incubator
2024 | 2025 school season
A premise | A study by the Ministry of Culture shows that in 2018, 2% only 15-28 year-olds went to a classical music concert at least once during the year. In 2008, the figure was 4%.
A conviction | Born of 30 years' experience of concerts and awareness-raising and transmission activities, Franck-Emmanuel Comte is convinced that it is from the earliest age, from primary school onwards, that the public of tomorrow needs to be educated.
A project | We are developing a season for young audiences called " Baroque incubator », à la salle Sainte-Hélène au Centre scolaire Saint-Marcwhich is our rehearsal and creation space. This season is built around the 5 following points:
1. Inclusion
A residency in a school means: an activity that resonates throughout the school, invitations to pupils and teachers to attend rehearsals and concerts dedicated to them, to take part in awareness-raising and artistic practice workshops, and to meet and talk with the artists.
Benefit
3,000 pupils from primary schools in Lyon were welcomed during the 2023-2024 season.
Projection
Develop this experience in eastern Lyon (Villeurbanne, Vaulx-en-Velin, Décines, etc.) in collaboration with the CCO at the new Rayonne venue on the Autre Soie site.
2. Collaboration
Benefit
A team made up of a CHD artist and an educational adviser from the French Ministry of Education - hosted by the Centre Saint-Marc - trains the school teachers, the teachers train the pupils, and the pupils go to the concerts equipped with listening keys...
Projection
A chain of transmission between the CHD, the Centre Saint-Marc and the CCO la Rayonne, schools and local associations with a social impact in eastern Lyon.
3. Inspiration
Benefit
Sharing a taste for Baroque music, its richness and its "modernity". Boosting the creativity of students who draw inspiration from the hybrids proposed by the CHD. Sharing of experiences between those who know and those who learn, between students and artists. Mutual enrichment, development of a critical mind.
Projection
To offer children a 1st stage experience by including them in the show they have co-constructed with us. Share a unique and new experience.
4. Émancipation
For the student
The spectator's school is about learning to concentrate and listen attentively. It's about making the spectator active, unlike television, which is usually consumed in a noisy and inattentive atmosphere. Finally, it means "shaping" the citizen of tomorrow: going to concerts and practising the arts contribute to the development of the personality.
For the teacher
Enhancing and facilitating their role as "facilitators": enabling them to give their pupils knowledge and tools, but also teaching them to master the behaviours and attitudes that will enable them to discover, understand and take an interest in new forms of performance. Above all, it's an opportunity for them to create a unique and playful bond with their pupils around artistic expression.
5. Incarnation
The educational and artistic journey is embodied in the show, a unique and shared moment, complemented by a "stage side". This is a special time for discussion, with pupils asking the questions they have prepared with their teachers or improvising new ones. Afterwards, the show is extended by the creation of digital tools (videos, photos) that are shared on the school and partner networks. The children create drawings or their own shows, inspired by their experience with the artists.
