‘Small Wonders, Big World’
The theme of my section was ‘Discovery’ with colours blue and yellow. I worked with 5 other artists’ and around 52 community groups who took part to produce carnival costumes and props which they processed through the streets of Stockton. It rained again this year but that never seems to deter people!

FYT Percy Headley Dance Drama Art Project 2009

A collaboration with break dancer Paul Allen and theatre director Annie Rigby working with a group of autistic children over one week to journey on a creative adventure inspired by the story of Don Quixote and other brave-hearted souls.

There was a final performance and procession of dance, drama, costume and props made during the week.
