PASS – Promoting Accessible Shows combining music and performing arts for people with sensory and cognitive disabilities

[Ana Isabel]

"The PASS project is based on aims in line with the Sustainable Development Goals outlined in the UN 2030 Agenda. In particular, due to its educational nature and the main target group (children between 6 and 10 years old), the project aims at pursuing Goal n.4: “Ensure inclusive and equal quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all”. 

The PASS project aims to promote a radical idea of inclusion and intends to take into account the extent to which the condition of disability is closely related to culture and context:.

Using the arts to work on inclusion and the reduction of physical, cognitive and sensory barriers in the processes of live performance production and enjoyment is the main goal the project aims at, together with the participation and enhancement of artists with disabilities.

Eligibility Criteria 

1. Composers under 35 years old:

a) of any gender and nationality, with disabilities of any kind;

b) who define themselves as disabled.

2. Possession of an academic degree in the field of music and professional experience in the music sector is not compulsory but will be a preferential requirement.

The call aims to create an opportunity of growth, comparison and professional employment to enhance the artistic talent of emerging composers with disabilities.

The intention, through this call, is to select an artist or an artistic collective to be entrusted with the commission of one or two original pieces for symphonic orchestra (to be arranged also for chamber ensemble – instrumentation to be defined), which take into account the presence of the Sign Language in choreographic form during the musical performance and, therefore, is able to integrate and harmonise it.

The pieces – that can be realized or developed also during the artistic residencies envisaged by the project in traditional and/or digital form – must be unpublished.

Applications must be received by 20 June 2024 exclusively online."
