'Spontaneous Communities' is an ambitious engagement programme for Norfolk & Norwich Festival. Five community groups will collaborate through the year with regional artists to research ideas, concerns and questions triggered by the Spontaneous City sculptures at NNF11, then they'll create new work for NNF12. Created by artists London Fieldworks and sited at Eaton Park, Waterloo Park and Cow Tower in Norwich, the sculptures draw on the ecology and biodiversity of their settings.
In lieu of earlier entries, which should have happened months ago ! I'll try and set the picture. This is the team of lead artists, crafts people, herbaculturalists and facilitators on the 'Fields of Practice' community engagment project project for Norfolk & Norwich Festival 2011/12. We were visiting Spontaneous City at Cow Tower as part of our second artist sharing day.

some juicy stuff came out of that and we began to make the links with our own practice and think about how we can introduce our groups to this work.
Spent the rest of the day with Karen Hansen discussing 'Communities of Practice' and other useful 'theoretical' frameworks for planning and working with our groups as well as how to keep our projects connected to each other and 'pool' some of the more inspirational moments.
