Screening Questions and Introduction
This survey is entirely voluntary, but an important process of evidence gathering about how the Covid-19 pandemic and the public health measures have, and continue to affect the Scottish Traditional Arts. This survey is being conducted by Dr Simon McKerrell and Dr Jasmine Hornabrook on behalf of Creative Scotland–Scotland’s national arts public body. It will take about 15-20 minutes to complete. The survey can be completed anonymously if desired, and we hope you will take the time to complete the survey as fully and honestly as possible. It is available to anyone resident in Scotland, over 16 years of age, who has any connection with Scottish Traditional Arts. We wish to hear from any Scottish residents who practice, engage with or participate at any level with Scottish traditional arts (e.g. audience member, volunteer, maker, technician, amateur practitioner, semi-professional, professional, teacher). Scottish traditional arts include music, dance, storytelling and crafts. We refer to Scottish traditional arts as practices that have grown out of oral/historical traditions in Scotland or are newly created, but shaped by characteristics derived from historical practices in Scotland, or those defined as Scottish traditional by the practitioners themselves. If you count yourself as someone who engages, even tangentially, in Scottish Traditional Arts, then we would like to hear from you.
We aim to collect responses from participants of any language, gender, ethnic group, age or ability, providing you have some connection or experience of Scottish Traditional Arts.
