Archie Markham Project Launch
A media Arts and performance project celebrating the writing and life of E.A. Markham!
Fours creative's - an Actor, a Writer, a digital Artist and a Dance Artist will work with pupils from Huckolow schoool to produce a spectacualr performance for Black HIstory Month 2012!
Themed 'many voice' our first session involved pretending to be someone else. With our help, students worked out a scenario where they pretended to be old by dressing up, speaking in an old way and moving in a old way - it was fantastic!
Afterwards students evaluated their experience and told us how they wanted to project to do in the future.
Archie Markham was professor emeritus at Sheffield Hallam Unvieristy, he died in 2008.

Working Together to Solve Problems Tom Wujec
Tom Wujec from Autodesk presents some surprisingly deep research into the "marshmallow problem" -- a simple team-building exercise that involves dry spaghetti, one yard of tape and a marshmallow. Who can build the tallest tower with these ingredients? And why does a surprising group always beat the average?
I'm up for trying this one when I'm next in class!
