The Music Bus and Children’s
Music Theater
The Music Bus is a mobile music school that provides
music activities for children from all ethnic backgrounds
in the warn-torn Srebrenica region of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
At the Children’s Music Theater in Srebrenica, children
from all backgrounds learn the arts of singing, dancing,
acting, stagecraft, costuming and production. In the shadow
of ethnic war, music workshops and creative collaboration
unclench fists and unlock hearts. Srebrenica
No place recalls the trauma caused by the war in Bosnia-Herzegovina
more profoundly than the municipality of Srebrenica, where
more than 8,000 men and boys were killed. Since the end
of the war, the entire region has struggled to recover
its vitality and sense of community.
The Music Bus in Schools
With the strong support
of school administrators and teachers, community center
administrators and parents, the Music Bus now offers workshops in
schools and community centers in Srebrenica and outlying mountain
villages.
The Children’s Music Theater
The Music Bus team has started
Children’s Music Theater in the center of Srebrenica, offering classes
in music, dance, and drama to
children from both rural areas and the town. In partnership with
Opera Circus from the UK, the Children’s Music Theater produces
musicals for the public drawing children and their parents together in
unique examples of interethnic cooperation for a region still divided
by ethnic conflict.
