AudioActive to provide free music workshops for young people in Crawley

AudioActive, a non-profit community music organisation, now has a new studio space in Crawley owing to an exciting collaboration with the Crawley Film Initiative. The new site is to be based at CFI's base at The Crawley Museum.

Not only is the suite kitted out with cutting-edge music equipment, but individuals who attend the free courses may also use video editing software, giving them vital skills for future employment.

Following on from their last pop-up venue in Crawley, which was a converted shipping container turned into a music studio, the space will hold music sessions lead by AudioActive's professional artists and do so for six months.

AudioActive CEO, Adam Joolia, said this about the new partnership and initiative: "We’re so excited to be able to expand our offering of free music projects for young people in Crawley, having simply outgrown our previous pop-up community studio."

"This exciting partnership with CFI not only allows young people and emerging artists in Crawley to benefit from the obvious synergy between music and content creation, but the move brings us another step closer to setting up our own space in the town, where young people can create their futures."

AudioActive, which recently opened an innovative centre for their work in the former Dorothy Perkins store on Worthing's high street, aims to open a similar facility in Crawley town centre and is looking for appropriate premises.

The location would comprise a music venue, community studio and project spaces, as well as inexpensive studio space for professional and up-and-coming artists.
