SILENCE PLEASE!

a project with Highdown School, Reading

with Readipop

September 2002

Context

Readipop was appointed to facilitate the production of a sound and new media work with Year 10 pupils from Highdown School that would explore and respond to Artists in the City themes.

 

Project

The project aimed to raise awareness and understanding of the ways in which artists can influence the spirit of a place and engage with the environment. During the course of two terms, pupils participated in workshops that introduced ideas and ways of making art that were new to them. The process led to the creation of a site specific work using digital sounds and images. The finished work, presented in the school's listed barn, combining performance and multi screen projection, explored the contrasting rhythms of the school day, moving between manic and mellow, chaos and order.

 

Artists

Readipop is a Reading based arts organisation that specialises in working with young people. It delivers participatory and collaborative projects and offers workshops that develop creative uses for digital technology, exploring music, sound and image.
