Freedome

Freedome is essentially a small group of pro-active artists, musicians and friends who, over the years, as a result of similar creative interests and ideals, have come together to create this unique environment. The Freedome attracts people who enjoy observing and relaxing in a comfortable space or participating with others making music or playing... percussion instruments. The Freedome works for all levels of musical talent; children also are welcome to bang a drum or shake a tambourine. It is also a useful networking centre for people wishing to connect with other musicians. We believe that the main reason for the success of the Freedome so far is that fact there are NO standards to achieve, NO criteria to fulfil and certainly NO talent required - truly accessible art and music for all. As creative practitioners, our skill is in gauging the needs of those in a less happy space than ourselves and leveraging the power of music and art to promote a constructive and restorative approach to their personal development and well-being. Through informal, unpressured drop-in sessions, we offer music, singing and creative arts workshops focusing on getting what's inside, out. We try to cultivate a spontaneous, non-judgemental atmosphere where individuals might just feel comfortable enough to try something new, or indeed, reignite a previous creative interest. Over the years, we've noticed that individuals taking part in our jamming, singing and songwriting sessions often use the opportunity to expose and confront real emotions behind the playful and unthreatening faade of performance.Read More
