AYYO Contemporary Illustory Residency
Rosannagh Scarlet Esson, Amy-Rose Holland, Emma Pearce And Ella Shepard Win The 2017 Illustory Residencies With AYYO Contemporary at Chipping Norton theatre
AYYO has partnered this year with The Theatre Chipping Norton to run the Illustory Residency project, which offers professional development and exhibition space for emerging artists from Oxfordshire. The theme of the project is 'discovering stories' and the artists are encouraged to delve into the literary works that are emblematic of their own cultures. They consider why they are so loved and make contemporary visual responses to them and vision new stories together.
These four artists will respond to the theatre's adaptation of the timeless classic, Sleeping Beauty. The artists have access to the theatre's unique script, models of the set, and sketches of the costume design. Taking in to consideration all of the aspects of the production and story, alongside their own individual research, they will work in collaboration with each other to create an immersive space in playful response to this particular version of the well-known story.
