About this exposition

This research investigates the research question ‘How can I create a Saint Nicholas music theatre production that engages the audience and is inclusive?’. The production aims at: - keeping the traditional Saint Nicholas celebration and music alive, - creating beautiful and quality art from the essence of the celebration, - taking into account social developments, the intense debates about the celebration and different opinions, - creating an inclusive performance – for audiences with a variety of traditions, cultural backgrounds, opinions, musical tastes and age; and - creating a performance that engages the audience throughout performance. The methodology is based on the Integrative Learning Design Framework and includes observations of performances for families, literature, interviews, the creation of the performance, refinement based on coaching sessions with experts, a prototype refinement, observations of audiences’ engagement, a survey completed by adults in the audience, reviews by 5th grade pupils after the school performance and a conversation with a programme maker. Answers to each of the five aspects of the research question – How can I create / a Saint Nicholas / music theatre production / that engages the audience / and is inclusive - are obtained, as well as clues for further refinement of the performance. Overall, this research shows that the approach taken in creating the Saint Nicholas performance has resulted in a Saint Nicholas music theatre production that engages the audience and is inclusive.
