The work was a devised collaboratively through a series of workshops in music and music technology, drama and performance, puppet and set making. Igor Stravinsky’s The Firebird is a compelling ballet and musical score about adventure and magic, based on the Russian folk tale about a glowing bird and an enchanted land. It was the work that made Stravinsky almost a century ago, and has captivated generations since. The Firebird Project is a year-long programme, through which the participants, who are young adults with autism, have the opportunity to gain a full Level 2 qualification in Music Technology and Performance.
