+D Social practice artist.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
+D is the working name of this social artist. It represents that the work is made in collaboration with the creativity of others. This is often directly, person to person, but +D also acknowledges that no work is made in isolation but is always an interaction with ideas and influences; It is the aim to work with people and places and together, with some added impetus and a bit of knowhow from +D, create work that may stimulate additional interaction and ideas.

What does a social artist do? A social artist aims to create work that seeks to uplift and involve people holistically, engendering interaction, thoughts and ideas. By acting as a catalyst with places and communities attention and new appreciations can be gained and shared. Being a social artist is about making work that is relevant to its context, environment and communities. It often means being open and inclusive, understanding and diplomatic. Projects may address issues or document and comment on places, spaces and histories. At the core of any project are investigations, thoughts and ideas with an additional intention of this evolving through the participation of others.

About

In Our Hands is a Bristol based theatre company made up of artists with over 20 year's experience creating performance.

Our work is experimental, exploring the meeting point between physical theatre and the voice. Formed from the experience of becoming mothers we create theatre with rigour, discipline and humour

The company's mission is to create accessible live performance that focuses on hidden voices in society.

Our work is experimental, exploring the meeting point between physical theatre and the voice. We try to balance the rigour and discipline of creating performance with the challenges of parenting while at all times retaining a very wicked sense of humour.

Luca Macchi,

I'm a musician, singer and singing teacher. With circus artist Truan Jay Mathias I co-created and performed a music and circus show called "Living in Bubbles":
A reaction to Covid-19, designed to be taken directly to local neighbourhoods with difficulties in accessing the Arts.
This show was created to explore the distance and closeness, the dysfunction and community that has been created during the pandemic in a joyful and resonant way.

We partnered with Dorset-based theatre company Frenetic Fox and Bristol artist Suzy Furse to create Beside the Sea this autumn. We designed and made a multi-sensory story about a day out on a British beach for people living with dementia and a carer or family member to enjoy together safely within a care home.

Beside the Sea sensory kits have been delivered to 9 care homes in Hartcliffe (south Bristol), Dorset and Weston-Super Mare. They include bespoke images by Suzy Furse, immersive soundscapes and original music by Gill Simmons, and sensory items like deckchair fabric, smell boxes and buckets of pebbles and shells.

Beside the Sea was funded by by Activate, National Lottery Communities Fund and Groundwork, and was supported by That Creative Thingy Wotsit, a Weston-based CIC who support creativity in care homes.

Suzy Furse's seaside images, commissioned for Beside the Sea, are available as a set of 6 postcards from our online shop for £5. Profits will support further creative projects in care homes.
