Join Saskia Willinge after school in Term 1 to explore what music can be, what it can include, and how we listen to the world around us.

❁❁ Become a member of ART CLUB! Work with artists, make art! ❁❁

In our first after school series for 2025, participants will work with local improv-musician and sound artist Saskia Willinge to explore what music can be, what it can include, and how we listen to the world around us.

For Saskia, music includes all the sounds around us, meaning that any sound can be music, and that any object (played any way) can be an instrument. Through a series of fun exercises and activities, participants will learn to change how they listen to and engage with the world around them, as well as having lots of opportunity to be really silly and let loose! Meeting weekly at Wireless Hill Museum, participants will have the unique opportunity to use the collections and histories of Yagan Mia Wireless Hill as inspiration to create new stories through sound and music in different formats.

Collaboration and solo practice will both be explored, according to participants preferences, with (optional) potential for a performance at the end of the term. No instrument or prior musical knowledge is needed to take part in this ART CLUB, however anyone with experience playing an instrument is welcome to bring it along and incorporate their knowledge.

Dates: Every Tuesday from 11 February to 1 April.

Time: 3:45 pm – 5:00 pm each week

Venue: Wireless Hill Museum, Yagan Mia Wireless Hill

Who can attend?

ART CLUB is designed for children aged eight to twelve. Get in contact with us at arts.melville@melville.wa.gov.au if your child is outside of this age bracket and you would like them to attend. Children generally attend the sessions independently of their parents / carers and are supported by City of Melville staff throughout the sessions. Please get in touch if your child has special needs or social/sensory requirements that we can accommodate.
