WAKING THE GIANT
Waking the Giant was an event held at Fort Burgoyne in Dover in 2020 to explore future uses for the historic site through art, craft, and folklore activities, including a market, workshops and performance. It was a commission by Albion Inc as part of the Pioneering Places East Kent project, funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and Arts Council Great Places, to give the public a glimpse into an imagined future for the fort.
As part of the project, I worked with Montrose Composers Club in collaboration with visual artist Matt Rowe (Artist in Residence at the fort) on two audiovisual works called Fortopia. These works were installed at Fort Burgoyne for the Waking the Giant open day where members of the MCC also performed live.
