what an eventful and exciting time in the studio and classroom today!

After many weeks work spent sewing our large houses, today was the day that we suspended them and tried to create a storm. Careful planning, included the gathering of torches, candles, fans to assist in the creation of storm effects. Before the session I suspended my fabric house from the studio roof, then linked up with the children. The first task was to create silhouettes of objects that get blown around in a storm, I chose to make a umbrella and part of a tree – these were to be used to project onto the fabric houses with a torch. once the components were ready, I performed my storm in the studio, images can be seen below, the children also created there storm in the classroom, you can see a few screen images below. The children made a great performance and rehearsed sounds made with their voices, very good wind and some loud screams.
