2010

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.

An exhibition of photographs taken by Tracey Moberly of local members of The17 on 15 December 2009 in L'Ecole Guillaume Manigat, Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The photographs are hung as large scale unframed prints around the school. They depict members of The17 in formal and casual poses. They are brilliant.

DROP OF THE HAT is an online publication based on a blog  that started in January 2009 and ended 12 months later. The blog documented and explored issues arising from a performance based on SCORE 320: CHOOSE. The score was performed by Emily & James Unknown. They also wrote the blog.
