Artist in Residence Workshop Program, Tate
In 2014-15 I was an Artist on the Artist in Residence Workshop Program at Tate alongside Laura Gannon, Tina Gverovic, Hannah Hewetson, Adam James, Beatrice Loft Schulz, Chooc Ly Tan, Nadége Mériau, Kate Squires and Linda Stupart. Based within the galleries, we explored ways of sharing practice with local schools and education providers. Over the year I used drawing and performance to explore ways of mapping feeling in the exhibition spaces, on the ground and on our bodies.
One series of workshops involved making a collective body out of our individual parts. This new body was then carried through the galleries and introduced to different artworks. Each artwork that was seen, was then emotionally responded to on the body. Tears were added for sadness, red cheeks for embarrassment, hard hats for danger etc. The collective body reflected the feelings and emotional response of the group to the artworks seen.

Sunday Spot, South London Gallery
From 2017-20 I worked with South London Gallery on their School and Family programmes. In 2018 I delivered a series of family workshops on their programme, Sunday Spot, which were based on the senses, using drawing, performance and sculpture to try out new ways to touch, move, taste and hear the world around us.
