Visual Art and
Salsa Line dance
project 2008/09

by Sabrina Rodney/Jona Thorpe/Charmaine Augustine

Artwork by Evelyne Jackman

The project consisted of a series of workshops focusing on dance and artistic expression as a community/ social activity to be shared between generations and people of different backgrounds culminating the programme in
……a participatory dance workshop of salsa line dancing at the Trusts annual Fund raising dinner at Lewisham College (Thursday 5th March 09) …

One fund Lewisham

which will incorporate what we developed during the workshops by participants and additionally inviting people attending the event to join the workshop - to provide a fun and shared experience.
We took the tradition of Salsa into the form of line dance - as a community project that took place at Marsha Phoenix Memorial Trust for residents and opened to the local community.
The visual Art workshops built on the theme making both collective & individual pieces based on inspirations on community dance themes and associated visual material. Images were sourced of community & social dance and with this we used magazines & newspapers to montage & recreate images inspired by dance adding humour.

These workshops ran in partnership with the Lewisham College art classes at

Marsha Phoenix Memorial Trust and the dance classes an additional course based in the garden studio.

Prologue-
Sometime early during Oct 2005 I had a conversation with Mrs Phoenix - she had asked me where had we first met as she felt she had known me forever - in fact since 1985 at the birth of the Marsha Phoenix Memorial Trust in house Arts project. I had responded to a job advertising for a photography assistant - I became the project photographer and following that as arts worker and later Artist in Residence. I continue to run workshops to this day. I had no idea I would still be working here in 2006.

‘Portrait for an Archive’
Mrs Phoenix has often commented that she needs another forty eight hours a day as there is too little time for everything -(and I don’t think that sleep was included in the forty eight hours!) In ‘Portrait for an Archive’ I have duplicated Mrs Phoenix - giving her multiple selves, & giving expression through digital media. Each print is a unique one off design that is part of a body of work.

Workshops:
The function of the workshops are to develop, learn & enjoy creative skills both for personal and professional development in a relaxed and informal environment. Many of the pieces are worked on collectively.
Some of the young women will use the workshop as an extension of their studies, for others it’s a new area of interest & for some its time out. The workshops are provided in the relaxed and informal atmosphere of the living space within the home.
The workshop and resulting exhibitions give an audience a window into some of the skills developed. The work allows us to see some of the positive contributions that young people make in the community and also take into the world at large.
