[cma-l] POEMS ON THE ROAD: RADIO PRODUCTION COURSE (Manchester)

[Tamar Millen]

Connect is an ambitious series of joint national initiatives by Arts 
Council England, the Community Media Association and the Voluntary Arts 
Network are supporting an exciting range of collaborative partnerships 
between arts and community media organisations.

Supported with funding from Arts Council England, the initiative has 
enabled a number of community media organisations and arts organisations 
to join forces to create four innovative new projects.

All FM and Manchester Literature Festival are looking for participants 
in their project.

POEMS ON THE ROAD: RADIO PRODUCTION COURSE

Manchester Literature Festival is teaming up with ALL FM Community Radio 
Station for a project celebrating poetry along the A6 Corridor. We are 
commissioning 5 poets from the area (Suzanne Batty, Helen Clare, Pete 
Kalu, Shamshad Khan and Martin de Mello) to produce new poems set in and 
around the Stockport Road area of Manchester. These poems will be 
recorded on location and aired on ALL FM in May 2011.

We are also offering 6 people the opportunity to take part in a 6 week 
radio production course run by ALL FM. The course will provide training 
in show planning, scriptwriting, interview techniques, equipment use, 
practical recording and editing. Course participants will also produce 
podcasts of the newly commissioned poems and interviews with the poets 
for live broadcast and online listen again facilities. The course is 
aimed at people with a particular interest in learning how to promote 
the arts and culture using new media.
