Research & Development


Period of professional development supported by a grant awarded from Arts Council England.
Various locations: 20 June 2013 - 31 March 2014.

I produced three projects - in Newtown, Wembley and Birmingham - using different forms of public engagement in their development and creation. I also undertook mentoring from three arts professionals to help guide and develop my professional practice. The progress and outcomes of the various projects and fields of enquiry were documented on this blog.

Civic Space

Conversations today revealed the idea of a free, civic space in Wembley. Somewhere like Speakers’ Corner where people could freely express their ideas.

It was noted that Wembley doesn’t feel like it has a central square. A possible idea would be to create a Speaking Podium that allows a number of people to stand and have a conversion or debate on equal terms. This structure could be position in the square outside Wembley Central station (which is currently a little sparse) or incorporated into the Civic Centre.
