the Dancing flamingos project

Alison Denholm’s ‘Dancing Mobiles’ project -  The project gives people with less mobility a chance to take part in parades and carnival.

I worked as Design assistant and associate artist on the project, where I worked as part of the team to produce three Flamingo float/puppets that attach onto mobility scooters. The Flamingos had their Debut at Nottingham carnival, where I performed alongside them in one of city arts biana costumes. Since then we have gone on to complete a total of six flamingos and they have appeared a various events all over the country. In the summer of 2022 they appeared as part of the Mahogany troupe in the queens jubilee pageant parade in London.
