Phillippa Clayden: ‘Young Visions’ 15th July, 6 30pm in the Ballroom at the Royal Festival Hall.
In July this year at the Ballroom in the Festival Hall at the Southbank Centre, as part of a growing arts education partnership between Southwark EiC and the Southbank Centre’s learning & participation department, ‘Young Visions’ artists will be working with dancers and musicians towards a performance involving 400 children who will be designing and creating all their own props, backdrops and costumes. ‘Southwark Splash’ will celebrate 9 exciting years of bringing the best of Southwark’s outstanding performing & teaching talent to the stage with a performance of ‘The First Kiss Of Dawn’.
Young Visions was founded by Phillippa Clayden 28 years ago and currently has a team of 5 practising artists on the team. Previously based in North London, Young Visions has been working with Southwark’s Excellence in the City scheme for the past 3 years. EiC funding has enabled Young Visions to introduce their ethos and unique method of teaching the visual arts to young people and their teachers in Southwark through workshops, inset days and exhibitions. Their work with CLPE (centre for literacy in primary schools) and the Power of Reading project has focused on enriching the reading and writing skills of young people.

Phillippa Clayden is exhibiting in this show called ‘Visionaries’ or ‘working in the margins’; an exhibition of paintings and performance by artists with a prophetic vision:May 20 - June 10 2009
Wallspace, All Hallows on the Wall,
83 London Wall, London EC2M 5ND

Saturday 11am-4pm
VISIONARIES May 20 - June 10 2009
Touring: August 28 - 31 2009
Greenbelt Arts Festival, Cheltenham
Visionaries brings together artists working in this honourable and challenging tradition, which includes William Blake, Goya and Samuel Palmer - those who explore with passion the territories of the spiritual, the religious and the human condition. The exhibition will include works by a number of painters, who although they are no longer alive, are still hugely influential: Stanley Spencer, Cecil Collins, Norman Adams, Tony Goble and Albert Herbert. They are joined by contemporary artists: Unity Spencer, Peter Howson, Clive Hicks-Jenkins, Paul Martin, Noel White, Brian Whelan, Jake and Dinos Chapman, Harry Adam, Billy Childish, Phillippa Clayden and Adam Neate. The prophetic tradition, with its history of dramatic enactment, is a rich one. Visionaries will therefore include a performance piece by Kit Poulson and David Shillinglaw will paint ‘live’ during the period of the exhibition.
The exhibition has been curated by Wallspace and will be on show at All Hallows on the Wall in the City of London from 20 May to 10 June. It will then travel to Greenbelt Festival, at Cheltenham Race Course for the August Bank Holiday weekend, from 28 to 31 August.
