Workshop Co-Leader
Wysing Arts Centre 
Jul 2022 - Aug 2022 

This series of workshops was with the CRUNCH Ramsey Youth Group, co-led with Karen Eng. We enable the young people to produce an audio visual experience they could revisit in Ramsey using geolocated sound walks. We had two sessions in Ramsey, and a three day intensive production sessions at Wysing Arts Centre.

I led the sound production, and guided them in Field Recording techniques, and site specific composition ideas. I also led them in the use of the Wysing Polyphonic Recording Studio, and basic editing and DAW techniques so they could construct their own soundscapes based on the locations on their sound walk around Ramsey. 

I collected their work and produced it into a 70 minute soundscape for the walk which is geolocated around Ramsey using the ECHOES app. Each specific location has its own soundscape using sound recorded, edited and composed by the young people.

this audiovisual work developed through my bereavement counselling with Cruse (a UK based bereavement counselling charity), is made up of videos my mom shared with me on facebook, and other videos that built the comforting, safety blanket of my digital world through this period of intense grief. This work was exhibited in central Cambridge at the motionsickness project space, unit 15, lion yard, petty curry, cambridge as part of their inaugural exhibition in the space.

Composer, Editor

Modern Lapidary, The Workshop 2018
Composer, Lead
This commissioned audiovisual work for Dalziel + Scullion's CORPUS bench sculptures at Addenbrookes Hospital, guided participants into a narrative building project focused on the minerals found within types of granite.  Taking inspiration from natural materials like limestone, slate, marble, but also from the way the material has been used to create a resting point and encourages a moment of reflection in passers by who interacts with them. The workshop expands on the connection between the stone and the individual, and the gift of repose that the stone offers.  The work was also developed using archival materials from the Sedgwick Museum of Earth Sciences, Cambridge.
