Jem has worked in community and social arts settings for thirty years, including Seed’s Art First project in 2021. As well as being a multi-disciplinary artist and performer himself, he loves to encourage people who may not think of themselves as creative to have a go, and surprise themselves with what they can create.
He has worked for the last sixteen years with Open Story Tellers, enabling adults with learning disabilities to become storytellers, performing at festivals, conferences and theatres.
He has also worked with the elderly, children, and many other groups, facilitating and integrating valued artistic input from people of all abilities and all walks of life.
The secret of his success?
“There is nothing more serious than fun!”
Jem and Sharon are collaborating artist running a series of mixed media creative workshops activities. They will also be performing sharing work with live performances for all to enjoy.
