Working with others...
Community artist, film maker and educator: Accessible Information Motivates Success
Much of my community arts work in the past is in recognition of the struggle of many people to succeed in the education system. My own experiences has led me to understand what learning is and the many ways it can be achieved. I have worked with the charity Voices From The Margins for many years... www.voicesfromthemargins.co.uk
I have also tried to positively influence policy and practice regards dyslexia and the arts. I feel that I have much to offer as an artist, educator and filmmaker to the whole community. I strongly believe that each individual has real potential for personal, emotional and intellectual growth through working creatively with the arts.
I have worked often with individuals at the margins of society. Maybe at risk of exclusion or tuned out from learning. Working with such groups of young people has had many positive outcomes, reinforcing my belief that ability follows enthusiasm.
My own creative practice and how working with others influences it provides a constant base for mutual learning opportunities... Ability follows enthusiasm!

This clip is from a short film made in Wiltshire. It shows how a school can pull together to make things better. It was made a few years ago and is a fine example of how the arts can impact on the whole school and local community.

This short film is made by dyslexic young people from Wiltshire in 2005.
Team work and real ability played a vital role in making this peer education work.
What I can offer: Workshops and Community Projects
Film Forum: An group focused process of exploration, communication and filmmaking. Often issue based the "team" work together to plan and make the film. This is a very powerful and inclusive way of working, learning and communicaing.
Dyslexia Awareness: I have experience of working with dyslexics, teachers, organisations and with parents and young people. As a dyslexic adult and father of dyslexics, I have first hand knowledge of dyslexia and what it can mean to be dyslexic in today’s society.
As a public speaker at several national and international dyslexia conferences I've have travelled as far as Hong Kong and New York to deliver support, advice and ideas regards positive outcomes. Dyslexia awareness sessions are availabe and can be taliored to met your needs.
Painting: I am a painter and can run workshops that enable others to enjoy the act of painting. By demonstrating how I work with colour, using gesture, emotion and my visual intellect I support others to develope.
I also have many years experience of mentoring and teaching GCSE Art and key stage 3 students.
Drama, Poetry, Music & Performance: My experience as a freelance stage manager at fringe events enables me to facilitate and direct multi media performances. Whilst working with words, actions and emotions groups use the performing arts to bring alive such learning experiences.
Web Design: I would love the chance of making great web sites with community groups, artists or anyone who likes what I have done with this site. Please contact me if you wish to know more or have an idea. (PS I also do graphic design)
Video Editing: The way finished projects are presented is very important. Many people find post postproduction as creative as script development, acting or animation. This work can only be delivered to small groups but has wide ranging benefits to all involved.
Talior Made: Or a mix of all of the above as is your need. Please contact me for fees and availability.
In summary… I am able to work with the community groups or schools to tailor projects to meet their unique needs.
