‘RESONANCE’
Training / coaching

Collecting Beats aims to empower artists around the globe to use their art to strengthen local communities. With extensive experience in the social-artistic domain in Europe, the Middle East and Latin America, Collecting Beats transfers experience, knowledge and tools to (young) artists who are looking to deepen and develop their leadership and entrepreneurship. We provide tailor-made programmes honoring local knowledge, values, and forms of expression.

Muzorgski

Collecting Beats is designing and executing the training programme for musicians who make music with people with mental or (psycho)social vulnerability. Muzorgski brings together all parties in the field of music and mental health care to actively exchange knowledge and experience.

Engaged conversations

Collecting Beats engages students from conservatories in the Netherlands in creative processes in connection to social contexts. For example elderly homes, mental health care or neighbourhoods. Doing artistic research, creating new connections, designing artistic interventions, interactive workshops and performances, or composing for a specific audience. I help them navigate in topics that come to the surface around the social relevance of art, ego vs. eco thinking, dealing with uncomfortability, equality, shared responsibility, positionality etc.

  • "Maite opens creativity in others by using her own creativity musically, artistically and philosophically."

    Carmen, colleague

  • "Maite enthuses people and is a fantastic facilitator of the reflective side of creative processes. She asks very sharp questions, which ultimately makes people do the work themselves."

    Mariana, partner Cuba
