What is beauty?
How do we live together?
What is out there?

A series of three videos where children 7-10 years old answer the great questions of philosophy.
On show at the Dean Gallery, Edinburgh, at part of The Enlightenments until September 27 2009.

GoMA Kids' Summer Festival Workshop: Songs to People Saying Things You Couldn't Otherwise Say

Performers: Cat Commander, Kathryn Sutherland, Ben Hjorth and Margaret Paul

This performance was one of 12 shows performed over a week at the Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane for their Kids' Summer Festival. I worked with this group of incredible performers to run 45-minute workshops where we gathered messages from kids aged 4-11, which we then transformed into songs and performed half an hour later.
