Easter Family Campaign
Portraits produced by Ben Harriott of my friend and local designer Mandiip to advertise the Easter Holiday Activities for The Nottingham Contemporary. We then went into a selection of schools to produce portraits for hard to reach families and children.
Animate
A series of Animated Workshops held for young people to produce an animated element, that would then be brought to life in a series of Cinemagraphs.
Working with young people is always a joy so having the chance to take part in the Easter workshops held at the New Art Exchange supported by Children In Need with the talented contemporary dancer and choreographer Jay Pollit was a real pleasure.
This workshops five participants had amazing talent in dance and with the help of Jay they choreographed a group dance piece performed to a beautiful piece of music . Then they each in turn story boarded and choreographed their own performance which was a story developed around a chosen item from Jay’s interesting collection of random objects!
Myself and film maker Ben Harriott helped each child prior to the filming to think creatively and visualise their final piece. This was developed through the group exploring how to storyboard and to consider all the elements required to provoke mood and thought both visually and internally through the use of a chosen object.
Coloured Gel lighting, Emotive Music and Great Performances from all the girls were merged together for the final productions which we then showcased to be enjoyed by parents, friends and family.
