Project Leader - Up Close

A week long project 'Up Close' working with young people based in Greenock. It was a really nice week making a site specific performance piece in response to their ever changing environment. There is presently a large amount of new builds and all of the children are moving schools as theirs are being re-built or pulled down. We made the peice in and around a large shopping mall, finishing in a cinema. Up Close was managed by Impact Arts, Glasgow

Documentary Film Maker - Creative Pathways- Impact Arts, Glasgow

Creative Pathways is a 6 month project for young people whom are not in employment or training. The aim is to support the participants to learn skills and gather confidence to enable them back into developing a career. I have filmed the journey of the young people over the last three months. I have been interviewing themselves, the tutors and funders and recorded their work.

Artistic Director - Some Kind of Iris - Final Presentation, RSAMD, Glasgow

These are images of the final performance at the RSAMD, 25th & 26th 2009.

'some kind of iris is a series of solos made over the last 7 weeks by CPP2 students. The group were been encouraged to devise work that is of their own signature using film, movement and installation. The work is presented as two separate group pieces containing a mixture of duets and solos. Therefore the pieces cross pollinate generating new narratives and imagery. The piece is a cyclic durational work open for 30 minutes.'
