Call it getting involved in the experience economy, infotainment, immersive cultural participation — or just enjoying the arts in a deeper way.
Instead of simply consuming culture as an audience member, with a little research and investment of time we can cross that all-important line into head-down, hands-on involvement. The latest arts events are breaking down the barriers between consumers and producers, observers and participants.
And if you are already a writer, musician, potter, dancer, calligrapher or even a lion-tamer in your spare time, there’s a chance to spend a few intense days finding expert tuition, meeting like-minded people and clocking up more of the 10,000 hours it’s supposed to take to truly master a skill.
Your preferred art form can often be twinned with lovely surroundings or an adventurous trip.
