The Challenge
Create a unique performance art video which presents the rich history of the St James area through the use of storytelling.
The Idea
Coined 'garden of memories', I collated 300 years worth of history about the St James Square area (Edinburgh) and explored perspectives of the new St James Quarter development in Edinburgh.
Connecting the dots
Collaborating with a cellist (Simone Seales), the creative piece was paired with a beautifully composed musical piece to set the tone. Although, with a 5-hour time difference (Simone was in the US at the time) and a short timeframe to produce this, we managed to pull it off.
Project lead time: 5 days
The Result
An immersive spoken word poetry short film pared with a beautiful cello score.
Just in time for Christmas.
