Redbridge Green Fair 2005 St Boniface Youth club ,Tooting

I manage video projects with a drama and/ or documentary focus ranging from one-off event days to long ongoing projects in community and educational settings for clients such as London Borough of Redbridge, Barking & Dagenham and Hackney. I have run accredited video projects at OCN and AQA levels.

I also work on a freelance basis for other arts organisations or as part of a larger group of artists. Clients include: Creative Partnerships, Studio 3 Arts (Big Deal project), The Video College and many more.

Video workshops provide an opportunity for participants of all ages to:

  • Learn hands-on film-making & sound-recording skills
  • Develop story-boarding, directing and interviewing techniques
  • Learn to work as a team for a shared piece of work
  • Create artwork that can be screened and distributed on DVD

Big Deal

The Big Deal Project is a multi-art form project that uses dance, drama, visual art, music and video to create a performance that addresses the issues that affect young people today. For two years I have lead the video and graphics design element of the project, including managing the projection booth, creating a DVD of the event, designing posters & flyers and facilitating video workshops with the young people.

Sure Start Video Skills Project

The Video Skills Project is a Sure Start initiative for parents in Central Bermondsey, that ran from Oct 05- July 06. In my role as project manager I lead the training in film-making and editing skills, shooting on location and interviewing techniques and worked alongside the participants to create a video that evaluated the services that Sure Start offers.

CLOD Project

CLOD (Creative Learning Outdoors) was a Creative Partnerships Slough project which aimed to findout how creativity could be stimulated by learning outdoors. Held in Langley Park near Slough, I worked with pupils from 3 schools to record the different workshops, interviewed other participants and created a 20 min video about the whole project which was shown at the launch event.
