Taipei Artist Village
2 month international artist residency at Taipei Artist Village April-May 2011. During this time The Futures Project was first developed.
THE FUTURES PROJECT
The Futures Project was developed during a Taipei International Artist Residency and Kyoto Arts Center International Artist Residency. The Futures Project invites people to share or teach the artist a skill or piece of knowledge that they have, that they think might be useful in surviving or shaping the future. This skill or knowledge is transferred to the artist and, wherever possible, is practiced during the exchange. The artist becomes a kind-of human encyclopedia, whilst the work is becomes a vehicle for sharing, collecting and beginning. Perhaps this project is also a way to face fears, articulate dreams, and take hold of the future.

AWESOME Arts 2007 Creative Challenge
Make Your Move is a dance and sound based project carried out with young people in 10 regional and remote communities throughout WA in 2007. Through the mediums of dance and sound young people explored their creativity and concepts of identity, sharing these with the wider community at ‘celebration day’.
The processes and products of each community were also showcased as part of AWESOME’s annual International Arts Festival in Perth.
