SAViA offers playful and exciting education for children and young adults across a wide range of disciplines. We facilitate young creatives’ engagement with the tools for art, media and design while creating meaningful projects including animation, music production or film making. We believe that whether it is for children’s and student’s personal artistic endeavours, or supporting the pursuit of a career in design or creative industries, being aware of and deploying one’s senses, as well as one’s technical skills is a key ingredient.
At SAViA, the creative personality is encouraged and new means of expression are added to everyone’s palette. This is formed equally through engagement with the sonic environment as through observations of light, nature and mediated forms. Practical projects, short courses and afternoon activities for children and youth are designed by academically qualified tutors. https://hellosavia.wordpress.com/tutors/

Say hello !
Some excellent work has been created by children (and teenagers) of Savia, and though most of the projects we have designed and run were not specifically for an audience, we add some works to the publicly-accessible selection of SAViA productions every now and then.

‘The audio and visual projects that Savia / Alexander Wendt has facilitated at Trefoil Farm School have been truly inspirational. Alexander has an innate ability to spark children’s creativity, nurturing and developing it into extraordinary pieces of work.

What I find so beautiful and important about Savia’s work is the creative empowerment the process evokes for the children. We as adults get an incredibly privileged glimpse into that extraordinarily rich world through the finished pieces of artwork. By using the technologies of the 21st century that our children are all too familiar with, Alexander accesses a timeless sense of creativity, play and imagination.
In a time where media technology is taking increasing control over our lives, the important work Savia is doing puts children directly back in control of media technology, making it work for them in surprising and inspiring ways.’
