MUSEUM OF… COLLECTED IDENTITIES
Holly in the Museum Of Collected Identities, June 2007
Over 16 weeks 9 young people from The Junction Works disability service attended design and performance workshops with designer, Kate Shanahan and director, Alison Richardson. Through movement, photography, drawing & painting the participants explored ideas of collections and obsessions. An audience was invited to come in and explore the Museum at Powerhouse Youth Theatre. They saw Michael, The Incredible Ironing Man, had their silhouette or portrait drawn, looked for The Bold and the Beautiful’s Ron Moss in a series of jars whilst listening to Celine Dion singing the theme from Titanic. Holly also enthralled the audience with her stories of collecting all pink cosmetics. And the audience could not leave without receiving a signed photo from pop icon, Tom Jason!
