ARTIST IN RESIDENCE WAC ARTS, London Jan-Mar 2015

A residency which involved creating a large light art installation – Light-Life Ignite, around which a series of Art workshops for young people of different ages were developed. A final light art installation – Light-Life Ignited was then created in response to the art work made by the young people.

INTERACTIVE WORKSHOPS

A series of interactive workshops were created for the young people across a number of different mediums (paintings, movement, clay sculptures, projection wheels and music) in response to a light installation that was created. By flowing from one medium or approach to the next, a dialogue between different art disciplines (light, sound, music, dance and movement) and a range of different art materials and processes enabled unexpected creative flow.

“It was more than a music playing session, the light art work was bringing us all together to create a collective inspiration”.

“It was very relaxing, it made us play better together”. Comments by Wac Art tutors.
