    Youth Participation in the Arts

    The National Arts Councils (NAC) mission is to Nurture the Arts, and Make it a Part o the Lives o thePeople o Singapore. In line with this, NAC works to develop, sustain and deepen the populationsengagement with the arts. Previous studies as well as anecdotal evidence have borne out that alarge percentage o youths 1, who participate 2 in the arts at school, generally cease participating upongraduation. In the 2009 Population Survey o the Arts commissioned by the NAC, or instance, itwas observed that only 22% o those between the ages o 20 to 29 participated in the arts. This wascompared to a 42% participation rate or those in the typical school going age range o 15 to 19 years.

    To better understand the actors surrounding this trend, in November 2010, the NAC commissioned aqualitative research study to:

    Identify and assess perceived drivers and barriers towards continued arts participation amongnonschooling youths who were active arts participants in their earlier schooling days;

    Ascertain reasons for youths discontinuing participation in the arts (attrition) following tertiaryeducation; and

    Test reception to new ideas and ways that could be put in place to encourage continued participationin the arts amongst this group.

    M h d y

    Approximately 80 young working adults who were active participants in the arts during their tertiaryeducation were interviewed over the course o six months. There was air representation amongst themo individuals who, at the time o interview, were actively participating in the arts (Continuers) as well asthose who had given up their involvement in the arts (Discontinuers). In addition, the views o severalarts instructors and mentors were sought or their insights into perceived key motivations and barriers

    or participation and progression o youths they work with in the arts. The research was conductedin two phases. In Phase I, respondents were asked to post online diary entries and were interviewedat their homes. The main objective at this stage was to understand the broad infuences that led to

    these youths participating in the arts at school as well as environmental actors which encouraged / 1 De ned as young people ranging in age rom 18 to 35.2 Participation in the arts includes attending an arts class or seminar, volunteering or the arts, creating an art work or per orming in an arts production,

    reading an arts magazine.

    discouraged continued active participation. Subsequently, in Phase II, ocus group discussions wereconducted to build upon the initial ndings and obtain eedback to potential solutions that could beintroduced.

    p f C s v s--v s D sc s

    Interestingly, the majority o respondents could not be categorised strictly as either Continuers orDiscontinuers. Instead, they tended to the middle o the continuum spanning non-involvement toactive participation. Many o those de ned as Discontinuers were still in touch with the arts at somebasic level (i.e. as consumers o the arts) and open to re-engaging with the arts at a later stage. On theother hand, many o those classi ed as Continuers saw their participation and passion in the arts asdiminishing and were considering disengaging at some point.

    That said, there were some clear di erences between the two groups in terms o attitudes andexperience with the arts. While Continuers saw the arts as a hobby and derived strong enjoyment romparticipation, Discontinuers elt that participation in the arts had to be at a pro essional level.

    As anticipated, the study revealed that continued participation in the arts was a ected by a mix o bothintrinsic (e.g. the degree o inherent passion or the arts) and external actors (e.g. opportunities or socialinteraction and bonding, competing demands on available resources, amilial and societal support orparticipation in the arts, the infuence o mentors and the availability o mentorship opportunities andaccess to plat orms or continued participation). These same set o actors could alternately encourageor deter continued participation in the arts. For instance, while work commitments were a commonexplanation given by respondents or dropping out o arts participation, those who still participatedactively cited nancial independence that enabled them to pursue the arts.

    It was also observed that particular sets o actors exerted a stronger infuence at certain stages o li e. In their ormative years, exposure to the arts at school (e.g. through arts co-curricular activities),and a supportive social milieu including (i) amily members, (ii) role models such as seniors at schools,arts instructors or arts activities in which they participated outside o school and (iii) local community;were actors that played a decisive role in shaping individuals attitudes towards the arts. As individualsgraduate and enter the work orce, new commitments such as increased amily responsibilities andgreater independence had more o an impact on the level o arts participation. While there were many

    actors that appeared to contribute to levels o involvement amongst youths, certain actors wereound to have played a deciding role as youths move on a ter graduating rom tertiary education.

    These actors are examined in greater depth, in the ollowing section.

    Youths seemed to want participation in the arts to meet their need or social interaction and bonding.However, while there were ample opportunities or groups o likeminded peers to come together in theschool context through such orums as co-curricular, school and hall activities, youths ound it hardto sustain these bonds upon graduation. Moreover, they had di culty orging new bonds with others

    who shared similar interests outside o the school setting.and obtain eedback to potential solutionsthat could be introduced.

    To this end, interest groups comprising school alumni o ten disband a ter a ew years, while privateinterest groups have di culty recruiting new members as they are disconnected rom school networks.

    This point was echoed by art teachers and mentors who also appeared to struggle to organise plat ormsor groups to band together (e.g. networking sessions) on account o most players being separated by

    sel -interests and divergent objectives.

    The ndings rom the study indicate that there is a need to acilitate the creation and maintenance o communities o interest able to uel amongst its members, continuing arts participation even a tergraduation rom tertiary education.

    The majority o youths did not think they met pro essional standards in terms o being able to stage aper ormance or exhibition. Instead, a ar greater number o respondents desired only to be involvedon a casual basis and sought simply to derive personal enjoyment rom what they were doing. It wasimportant that they were able to participate in the arts and have un at it, without any stress.

    Related to this, given the demands on their time and their disinclination to disappoint their contemporaries,they expressed a pre erence or programmes/initiatives that required low levels o commitment.

    The local social dancing scene was cited by teachers and mentors as a success ul example o this,with enrolment numbers seen to be fourishing amongst the young working adults segment.

    Many existing plat orms or participation in the arts (e.g. arts events, estivals and workshops) do notappeal to youths. The perception is that these require participants to be pro essionals, or at the very

    least, semi-pro essionals. This is in line with the perception amongst discontinuers that the arts areonly or serious artists and cannot be pursued as a hobby. There is a necessity to re ormulate theseplat orms or participation to allow easy access and fexibility or individuals to participate at theircom ort level.

    The study revealed that this internet-savvy generation o ten relied on the internet or help in decision-making with regard to arts participation. While opportunities or arts participation are widely publicisedon orums, social networking websites and other online plat orms, youths ound the available in ormationto be overwhelming and elt ill-equipped to ascertain its credibility to make in ormed decisions.

    Furthermore, the marketing strategies o plat orms or arts participation tended to be directed at thegeneric youth category, ignoring the complexity o this group. Seeing as the majority in this age group

    did not identi y with the label youths, which they saw as a re erence to teenagers, such approachesinadvertently alienated many in this segment.

    A key challenge or organisers o these plat orms as well as other stakeholders is to customise theirmarketing and outreach strategies to account or the diversity within this group. Furthermore, there is aneed to develop tailored and credible in ormation tools to aid potential and current arts participants intheir decision making process. Some ideas that were raised in the study included customised mailinglists and a centralised in ormation resource, possibly integrated with a central arts acility.

    The NAC had commissioned Blackbox Research Pte Ltd to conduct this study. This article provides a summaryo the key ndings o the study.
