Live Client - Playworks

My live client is going to be Playworks – is an independent citywide voluntary organisation that exists in order to support and promote children’s right to good quality / freely chosen play opportunities.


Playworks is funded by the National Lottery for various projects and is launching a new ‘Street Play’ project. I will be producing and directing a documentary about the project assistant Alice Sidwell, how she is involved in the project and what she intends to do with it. The final multimedia product will be an authored DVD and will also act as a promotional video for Playworks. I intend to make a character lead authored documentary with a strong stylistic approach.

The research process had begun from the first meeting with Alice and the Project Co-ordinator Paul Booth. They have given me an overview of the project, how it fits into the Play Action Network (a larger project) in Nottingham and what their intentions are in the coming months with regards to Street Play.
