Been offered a great opportunity to do some live drawing next week as part of my Associate Artist Role at Royal and Derngate. Not directly associated with Performing Drawing work, but relates to it, so all good experience and exposure. Today found fab open call relating to Walking Drawing so lots to do!
Day One of 50 Words or less.
Thought: A soundscape will work very well with the daily walk sculptural sketchbooks. I will get working on that when I begin the next one. A spinning stool could possibly work with its installation. Note to self – investigate.
I am an artist and educator whose artistic practice spans disciplines that include Performance and Live Art, Installation, Book Sculptures, Painting, Drawing, Mixed Media Construction and Theatre Devising, Production and Design. Primarily I am motivated by the power of experience and communicating this to an audience. These experiences can range from an intense engagement with a novel, architecture, the natural and urban environments, cultural and personal moments and events. My approach to artistic education is underpinned by my understanding of social pedagogic principles which focus on providing a holistic educational experience; I consider that young people’s emotional and social needs are as equally important to their educational ones. I have worked in arts education with young people for over 20 years, am an artist and Education Coordinator at Fermynwoods Contemporary Art, a Creative Projects Associate at Royal and Derngate Theatre in Northampton, have worked as an Artist Educator with NN Contemporary Art and Full House Theatre in Bedford.
