What an exciting few weeks I have in store. As part of a unit I will undertake at SSCD, I will have the opportunity to get inside not only my own creative mind but also the mind of a fine artist. As part of the unit I'm going to create work to represent a historical character that is very close to the history of the surrounding area in which I grew up, and ultimately reshape Britain unlike anyone ever has. Never before have I collaborated with a different art form and I couldn't be more excited.
The collaboration idea came to be a few months back when I became aware that such unit would be fast approaching my timetable. I've always wanted to created work representing my feeling and opinions on such an influential character in British history and now I can contemplate idea's that I never would be able to alone. Nathan Wyburn, a freelance fine art student from Cardiff has agreed to produce a wall size portrait of Margaret Thatcher in a way that inspires him from watching practical rehearsals from me and 4 dancers.
Unlike most collaboration pieces I have been an audience member to, myself and Wyburn have decided we don't want to make both art form's to appear completely infused, but separate entity's that co exists on the same stage representing the same idea. This I believe will work well with the selected subject as for a lot of Thatchers rein in my opinion, she never seen Britain from both sides and every decision and action she took and made she did through tunnel vision.
So who know's what form of exciting partnership will be created in the coming weeks
