FAMILY TREE  :  Shelter building and creative writing residency project with a group of young carers in Grizedale, Cumbria. Each new structure was connected to new 160 character text message poems written by the builder on the theme of home. Workshop guests included artist and educator Julie Ann Sheridan and GetOutMore guru Annie Berrington.

As part of Blink’s Pocket Shorts initiative, I ran a series of short-form film-making workshops across the North of England with Andrew Wilson. They were designed to nurture the next generation of mobile phone film directors. Pocket Shorts was the first made for mobile short film production scheme funded by NESTA. It was later adopted in Scotland by Scottish Screen and Scottish Enterprise.

SPIN Pimp my bike project using Lady Ada’s spoke mounted pov ( persistence of vision) technology and simple animation with North West community groups and BLAZE.

They were seen by people who cheered us along the promenade and the hundreds of other riders on the night.
