About the Musical
OILCAN - the musical is a bold and innovative musical blending contemporary rap with traditional Scottish airs. Power, identity, and community leadership are all explored. Developed through collaborative workshops, the musical amplifies unheard voices, telling the stories of communities facing political and social challenges.
At its core, OILCAN – the musical is a platform for creative expression, where participants contribute ideas, lyrics, and scripts that may shape the final production.
Through attending one of our feeder workshops, you can develop skills in musical writing, connect with a wider artistic community, and potentially see your work both published and featured in a professional production!
