Starcatchers, artist Skye Reynolds, and Scots Corner Early Learning and Childcare Centre worked together to explore how creative movement, dance, and creative play can help young children understand and express their feelings.
I worked with the children and staff at Scots Corner and with Skye to film and produce these video resources for parents and educators working in early years settings.
It was an absolute joy to spend time with everyone at Scots Corner. Skye's ideas worked so well, and the children and staff were incredibly playful, warm, and generous.
The reaction to the camera—in particular my fluffy microphone 'softie'—was hilarious! Skills from my performance and clowning background allowed me to facilitate play and abandon planned shots in favor of the children's spontaneous, wonderful creative direction.
The natural light filtering through the nearby woods made for breathtaking cinematic footage. Outdoor creative exploration at its finest.
