Eaton Park on 15th September, lots of great unique responses & ideas to this Spontaneous City which, not least led to Eddie & Sheila suggesting that we may like involve their Creative Writing group too. We talked to Maggie their tutor about this and she was very keen, it's a relatively newly formed group (several new members) who are finding their direction but may well like to hook up with us using written responses. We were joined briefly by a group on 'walkabouts' from The Clare School, all generations sharing a lovely moment of art & chat about Spontaneous City. Great, feels as if 'Spontaneous Communities' are forming ! Talking a lot about collections (boxes, people, drawings) and have begun a 'collective' drawing, will see where it goes ? I am enjoying some great "we could do ........." suggestions from the group and Paul, their regular tutor, including Sue's suggestion that we all put boxes on our heads will holes in to get the birds perspective, watch this space.
'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.
