Spoken Word
These short films are part of the Idea Space film project and led by the young people involved.
The participants worked with local industry professionals in the creation of these films. This began with writing workshops led by Open Court, through which the participants explored free writing. The group focused on local places about which the participants wrote a stream of consciousness.
Idea Space director Vicky Coffey then led the young people in selecting their pieces of writing and working on different ways to present their work creatively: from using visual props, locations and ways of recording their pieces, layering over music and designing the intro and outro of the films. Following this, the young people worked with vocal coach Martha Swan and co-created the film direction with Gregg Houston in different locations related to their writing.
