The space we chose at the Brook Theatre was a Dance Studio. It is a room dia 22ft by 18ft, and a height off 14ft. It has a mirror one end and a piano to one side.

The festival of creativity the be held in Chatham needs to be aimed at young people in the area, how have you done this?

I have highlighted issues facing young people in Chatham.

Have you used too creative disciplines, what are they?

I have chosen to use sculpture and textiles as I wanted to make something 3D and of some sort of clothing or outfit.

What are your initial ideas?

My initial ideas are to make a dress (inspired by the theatres) and/or a mask (inspired by the theatre and venetian masks.

What idea have you chosen and why have you chosen it?

I have chosen to make a dress and mask as I couldn’t express all I wanted to in just one of these. I am making a dress to represent prostitutes and homeless and a mask to represent druggies. I thought these would both suit as there ‘costumes’ and costumes are used in theatres and we are displaying out work in the theatre.
