The performance of Score 7: COLLABORATE at Kingswood school on 16 October 2009 was twinned with a performance of the same score on 15 December 2009 at L'Ecole Guillaume Manigat, Port-au-Prince, Haiti. At Kingswood's morning assembly on 20 January 2010, John Hirst and Bill Drummond told the pupils about their experience with working with the pupils in Haiti. It was also the launch of the appeal to raise funds for the needs of the pupils and the rebuilding and furbishing of L'Ecole Guillaume Manigat. Tracey Moberly the artist who took the photos at the school was also there to show the prints of these photos. Ongoing information about the money raised and what use it is being put to will be documented on these EVENTS pages. As of the 20 January the fund is over £2,000. |
