Hat Fair Project – Living Portraits
Living Portraits is part of Hat Fair’s Celebrating Age project, a two year programme of arts activity for, with and about older people.
The Hat Fair would like the participation of 4-6 WSA students with their Living Portraits project, a part of a wider initiative ‘Celebrating Age’. This project is an intergenerational multimedia project where students will be buddied-up with older persons from Winchester, in order to create digital portraits, celebrating the conversations had between the students and older persons.
The project will involve you, the student, doing three professional workshops. The first will be with film makers SDNA, developing film and design techniques. The second will be with professional theatre company Flintlock Theatre (who co-produced Four Score Years and Ten) and will be working through verbatim theatre and interview techniques. The third will be a workshop with Hampshire Records Office.
This project is scheduled to happen during late April and through early May. Hours required and availability can be discussed, though this will require a number of hours each week/day. As this project will require production of digital portraits (be they film/video or still-image) you will need some knowledge in this area.
The following video will give you an insight into the 2017 round of Living Portraits: https://vimeo.com/255889716/b48d6d5084
Please note this is an unpaid opportunity.
If you have any questions about the project, or would like to discuss how the project could fit in with your group, or to sign up please contact: Amy Pendry, Hat Fair and Engagement Producer at amy@hatfair.co.uk
