When a single change of terminology has a big impact on practice! In the recent months, I have been absorbed in the exploration of participant led co-creation in immersive spaces. Through research and skill building supported by Arts Council England’s DYCP fund and artist residency at LEVEL Centre, Matlock, I wanted to discover not only if co-creation was possible in […]

I was refamiliarising myself with the physical AND digital spaces that I had been using. I knew I wanted to explore ways to represent the participant made work in a virtual […]

These participants can vary from a specific community group to other professionals in the same or other art form(s).
