Animals of Colchester
Made with Class 3JR Superstars at St Michael's Primary, as part of the excellent Arts Council funded ArC project with firstsite and CSN consultancy . ArC looks at creative ways of teaching citizenship by developing projects with artists working alongside primary classes in Colchester. Our theme was Working Together and teams of children created masks, storyboards and scripts. The advantage of working with masks is that everyone who wants gets to be a performer. The film is based on the Grimms' tale "The Bremen Town Musicians". In our version a disparate team of animals decide to escape from Colchester Zoo to join the army...I began to wonder if we would have time to do the filming as the masks took so long - but they were wrth the waiting I think.

Cosi Fan Tutte
Saxlingham's version of Mozart's masterpiece. Based on a performance developed with the Theatre Royal, Norwich in the autumn tern 2006, this project was the centrepiece of a CARA2 project researching childrens' ability to reflect on their own creativity in the context of a collaborative project.
The Nonny
Made with a group of teachers at a Creative Partnerships CPD session at Caister High School.
The aim was to prove that with a bit of knowhow film making doesn't have to take very long. In 20 minutes we made puppets, scenery, recorded and filmed the poem. I edited and uploaded it to blip.tv when I got home (15 minutes). Is this a record? Dunno but was fun - if slightly adrenalin-fuelled fun ...
