Artist taking the Lead - On Landguard Point
Artists taking the lead is a series of 12 public art commissions across the UK to celebrate the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad. Arts Council England is delivering the project in partnership with the Arts Council of Northern Ireland, Creative Scotland and the Arts Council of Wales.
The 'Artist taking the lead' in the East is Suffolk-raised artist Robert Pacitti who is developing a series of large-scale, public outdoor events exploring notions of 'home', that will contribute to a feature film in 2012.
Robert is working with a stellar line-up of collaborators to deliver the events this summer, including the composer Michael Nymanand choreographer Wayne McGregor. Local people can get involved as participants and audiences, including brass bands, free runners, show offs, crafts folk, wannabes, cooks, and kite flyers. The entire project is being run as a training ground for young people, developing hands-on training in music, dance, filmmaking and event management skills. The final film On Landguard Point will be premiered in the Spring of 2012.
