What are people going to?

Okay.

Well, this year so far I'm producing... We're bringing an Australian artist over who is a movement dance puppetry artist who does club nights.

Amazing.

And he's doing a show.

And then the work that is potentially taking me overseas is also a dance work.

But producing dance is actually kind of new to me because...

Historically, I've done public art installation work.

Yeah, exactly.

I work for myself, so that's why it's quite hard to describe what I do because it can be quite unpredictable.

Yeah.

We worked with around 450 young people, like eight and nine-year-olds from across Manchester, and they were creating an inheritance for children 100 years from now.

And the gallery who were presenting the time capsule committed to re-presenting that work in 100 years' time so that the recipients of the inheritance can actually receive it.

um to their um the the next generations was fascinating yeah there were some really moving objects that on the surface looked really cute and then you got them to explain why they'd chosen it like one of the objects was a series of flower seeds and when they initially said seeds and i was like do you mean like vegetable seeds thinking like it's the apocalypse and we need food to survive

And they were like, no, we think it should be flower seeds because flowers won't exist in the future, but people still deserve beauty.

It's heartbreaking.

That was a quite unique situation.

I was collaborating with two artists, Andy Field and Becky Darlington, and it was funded by the festival who were presenting us.

And I don't know exactly where all their funding was coming from, but.

Yeah.
