WORKSHOPS…AN ARCHIVE IN PROGRESS…
SECRET CITY ARTS, ANDERTON PARK CHILDRENS’ CENTRE, BIRMINGHAM, AUGUST 2009.
Secret City Arts is a new mixed media arts organisation consisting of animator Claire Evans, sound artist Helena Gough, writer Mandy Ross and mask maker Pyn Stockman. This summer we worked with a group of 8 - 11 year olds in Balsall Heath, Birmingham. We traced the River Rea from its source in the Waseley Hills and into Digbeth in the city centre, using this as inspiration for a multitude of different creations….
