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.

The images were shot, processed and projected live with guests being able to take away prints of the pop art images as a memento of the event.

The new channel idents and positioning were developed by UKTV’s marketing team in conjunction with Red Bee Media. UKTV is a joint venture between BBC Worldwide and Virgin Media. Home will only focus on homes and gardening-related programming, as opposed to its previous remit, 25% of which featured style programming.

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.

I’ve been commissioned to document Dance4YourLife, a distinctive dance and health programme specifically designed for young people aged 14 years old.

Professional and experienced dance artists will devise schemes of work and deliver them in 9 schools, engaging up to 270 young people across North Kent.

The first shoot produced images for future marketing material and will be the start of an ongoing photo journal.

The article also publishes other images that I shot whilst documenting the project. As well as shooting digital stills I also filmed the installation of the artwork in HD and in timelapse formats. The timelapse film was projected during launch events at the various locations that the Hei People ‘appeared’ and will be incorporated into a documentary due for release later this year.

Despite a number of incidents of vandalism the Hei People managed to create quite a stir across the North Kent region.
