Creative Doodle Book: Developing Inclusive Community Arts Engagement during Physical Distancing

Covid 19造成的破坏迫使社区艺术公司大幅调整他们的活动。这对那些与边缘化或弱势群体打交道的组织尤其有影响，因为他们中的许多人没有社会或经济资本来参与数字艺术活动。在“正常”时期，艺术通过为积极的创造性表达提供机会，在支持复原力方面发挥着至关重要的作用。在2019冠状病毒病危机期间，更重要的是找到让每个人在社区环境中表达创造力的方法。该项目将改编和扩展“创意涂鸦书”，这是一个由项目PI和Mind差距剧院公司（MTG）于2019年开发的实践资源。通过一系列有趣的任务和活动，涂鸦书促进了旨在支持个人代理的创造性反思。2020年5月，MTG成功地与他们的学习障碍艺术家网络一起在封锁期间进行了涂鸦书的远程交付试点。基于这些积极的早期指标，该项目将与MTG合作，并访问冠军完全包容的人，to develop发展the Doodle涂鸦Book书as a model模型of inclusive包容physically物理distancedpractice远距离练习.在一种混合的方法中，这将伴随着适应性的支持和可访问的资源，以达到否则被排除在数字艺术活动之外的个人。我们将与20个社区艺术团体合作，并采用培训教练的方法，以提供一个可以大规模扩展的结构。该项目还将提供证据，证明在极端不确定的时期，创造力在幸福和个人代理中的作用。

The disruption caused by Covid19 has forced community arts companies to drastically adapt theiractivities. This has been particularly impactful on organisations working with marginalised orvulnerable people, many without the social or economic capital to access digital arts activities.During 'normal' times, the arts have a vital role in supporting resilience through providingopportunities for positive creative expression. During the Covid19 crisis, it is even more vital tofind ways for everyone to express their creativity in community contexts.This project will adapt and extend the 'Creative Doodle Book', a hands-on resource developed bythe project PI and Mind the Gap Theatre Company (MTG) in 2019. Through a series of playful tasksand activities, the Doodle Book facilitates creative reflection designed to support personal agency.During May 2020, MTG successfully piloted the at-a-distance delivery of the Doodle Book duringlockdown with their network of learning-disabled artists.Building on these positive early indicators, this project will work with MTG, and access championsTotally Inclusive People, to develop the Doodle Book as a model of inclusive physically distancedpractice. In a blended approach, this will be accompanied by adaptive support and accessibleresources to reach individuals otherwise excluded from digital arts activities. We will work incollaboration with twenty community arts groups, and adopt a train-the-trainer approach toprovide a structure that can be expanded at scale. The project will also provide evidence of therole of creativity in wellbeing and personal agency in times of extreme uncertainty.
