RADIO-MUS-E - Lunch with Insects

RadioMUS-E – Lunch with Insects

On March 1st 2011, two school classes visit FoAM to broadcast their radio-programme and investigate edible insects.

In RADIOMUS-E children of elementary class develop and produce a radio-transmission based on the Flemish classic 'Erik of het klein insektenboek' by Godfried Bomans. Following two months of work with Elias Vervecken (bruitage) en Rebecca Lenaerts (theatre, radiostories), two classes from two Brussels' schools (De Wimpel, Elsene and St-Joris, Brussels), get a chance to meet each other on the 1st of March at FoAM.

That day, the children continue their work on insects and include the aspect of taste: a lunch with insects will be prepared together. The menu features catarpillar soup, cochenille-red potato puree and a honey dessert.
The experiment will be concluded with a live radio transmission between 2pm and 3pm.

RadioMus-e is a project of MUS-E Belgium, a bilingual institution organising Art-in-School projects. Artists from various disciplines are invited to work in a school class with children and their teacher to initiate an artistic process.
