We have been invited to exhibit our young team’s work at Sutton House 6-8 September. Some examples here:
As part of this installation a Live Event DECONSTRUCT has been created. A Tudor Fashion show with a modern twist. Created by a small team of young women and designed by Nellie Noodle.
Limited spaces. Order your FREE tickets here!
The Digital Output Team have produced two short films for our installations and they can also be downloaded.
Shot in Hackney following Heritage Filmmaking Workshops earlier this year.
First showings at St Katharine Cree WOEFUL PUPPET installation.
Mary I The Roman Catholic Nicene Creed
Excerpts will also be included along with interviews with experts, still and moving images and a community scripted voiceover in our Documentary.
We held the launch of the Heritage Lottery funded WOEFUL PUPPET at St Mary’s Community Rooms in Hackney on 10 August. This project about the events that led to the execution of Lady Jane Grey attracted a lot of interest.
We were so pleased with the wonderfully diverse turnout (especially as its the holidays) and that so many people signed up for trips and training to gain the skills to install heritage exhibitions at St Katherine Kree, Sutton House and the Tower of London.
We will also be producing a documentary, sub-titled interviews with experts, colour booklet and online educational materials.
It was also a first outing as presenter for our volunteer Olivia who is hoping to learn heritage skills such as research and archive training and also installation skills such as how to be a Live Exhibit.
As previously we will be holding other outreach events throughout the project.
