Illumin Dreamtime (2009) Immersive, multi-sensory installation at Watercliffe Meadow Community Primary School.
Illumin: Dreamtime (2007)
Illumin: Dreamtime is an immersive, multi-sensory installation combining inflatable sculptures, light, sound, mirrors and projected image. Originally created for a dance performance in a gallery setting for Doncaster Arts, it was subsequently installed at Bloc Gallery, Sheffield, and then permanently reinstalled into Watercliffe Meadow Community Primary School in 2009.
The school installation was developed in collaboration with Creative Partnerships as the opening gesture of a year-long artist-in-residence. The aim was to create a magical space — a place where the whole school community, from Nursery to Year 6, could dream up new ideas and directions for a year of creative cross-curricular learning. A place where anything could be possible.
The project was rooted in the Reggio Emilia approach to child-led learning, and became a whole-school CPD process, with the artist working across every year group to develop critical thinking through creative exploration.
