Focal Point | Fuse Festival Finale Film Production

Focal Point was a spectacular performance of aerial daredevilry and pyrotechnic explosions on board LV21, the finale of the FUSE Medway Festival.

Focal Point was a unique commission by FUSE. The finale performance brought together LV21, an iconic lightship moored on the Medway currently being transformed into a floating cultural centre, exponents of multi-disciplinary aerial performance Scarabeus Theatre, and creative pyrotechnicians The World Famous.

Medway FUSE Festival image gallery coming soon

The Fuse Festival finished this weekend and I’ve been busy selecting images and doing some retouching.

There were some great performances this year including a colourful Bollywood carnival with excellent dance routines from PGP, a unique Medway Safari from Play On Words Theatre, Parkour by Ashley Spider and acrobatics from the Black Eagles. The photographic journal that I am currently collating will go some way in documenting what has become the biggest free arts event in Kent. Once I have cleared permissions, images will be posted on [FRAMEDWAY], my public art project that promotes heritage and art in Medway.

Medway FUSE Festival 09 Launch – Photography

The Medway FUSE Festival ’09 was launched this week with the arrival of the Neo-Futurist Collective at Upnor village.

A Call to Arms
After a grand arrival by boat, four members of The Neo-Futurist Collective stumble ashore – a man in a wet suit, another one wearing a pair of giant ears, one wearing a mask of a greek god and carrying a box of light bulbs and a woman with a basket of cakes and a huge ball of red thread…

A short absurdist ceremony follows where the Neo-Futurists announce their intent to the assembled crowd, followed by official speeches from local dignitaries. During the ceremony The Neo-Futurist Collective unveil a blank map of the Upnors to be filled in during the project.

This year’s festival is likely to be the biggest arts event in Kent. I’ll be creating a photographic journal and documenting this year’s festival which starts in Chatham on June 6th with a Bollywood carnival parade.
