Bilateral Exchange (Stirling & Holland) 2003/2004
|
Welcome to the section of the
website which tells you all you need to know
(and probably loads you didn't need to know
also) about the bilateral exchange trips which
took place between Stirling Juggling Project
and International Project Argos (Holland) in
the summers of 2003 & 2004.
Here are the 2 logos that were used.
|
First Part of the Exchange (2003)
| WHERE? |
First part was held in Stirling from 19-27
July 2003. The Dutch stayed in a Youth Hostel,
and we booked the Stirling Boys Club for a week
to give ourselves a place to meet and practice. |
| MAIN THEMES |
Art and Culture, European Awareness |
| SYNOPSIS |
Bringing together Stirling Juggling Project
and International Projects Argos (Holland) 'Performance
Levels' will be based in the historic centre
of Stirling. It will comprise a programme of
workshops, skills sessions, discussions, visits
and social activities, exploring performance
in life and as art, culminating in a colourful
finale of circus, cabaret and culture. |
| Why Call it 'Performance Levels'? |
We will use performance as a form of artistic
expression to examine the idea of personal performance,
which may be in a work/study context or in a
social context. Performance levels may be read
to mean measures of performance, or to suggest
that two different groups of people may be 'levelled'
(i.e. made equal) through the medium of performance.

 The
Stirling Posse's hard work paid off, and the Exchange
was a success, with a fantastic show to round it all
off. The Exchange was led brilliantly by George the
Juggler, with a bit of assistance from his co-leader
Steve (me)! We even got a good write up and mention
in the British Council's annual publication as a shining
example to other groups thinking of doing similar
exchanges!
Final Part of Exchange (2004)
The theme for the second year was
chosen by the Dutch who organised the whole programme
of activities for us. It was called "Whose
Side are you On"? The programme this year was
to feature lots of political debate and discussion
in order to raise awareness of the issues going
in around the world.
