Sounding Out New Audiences at Tatton Park
Photographs by Steve Chettle, ARTS UK The work of an artist in residence on the oneplace programme has been stretching far beyond the walls of Tatton Park. Lucie Potter, Tatton's current oneplace artist, has been exploring aspects of her work with members of Community Day Services based at Flatt Lane Community Centre in Ellesmere Port. During her residency Lucie has created a sound walk which will lead visitors around part of Tatton's parkland in the summer. Her field recording sessions have captured the wildlife and activity of Tatton at all times of day and night. She has now used her artistry and expertise in creating sound-works to help six adults with learning disabilities to "map" their own environment through sound. During three dedicated workshops, the participants have explored the sounds of Whitby Park, a local park near their community centre. They have learnt to use specialist recording equipment to capture the sounds of the space: bird song, leaves, voices, the unusual and the humdrum in every day life. Lucie has helped them to create their own sound-work from these recordings, which will be presented at a special exhibition at the community centre on Thursday 10th April 2.30pm to 3.30pm. The workshops have been an enjoyable part of Lucie's residency and she has built up a great rapport with the participants from Flatt Lane. Lucie commented "It takes a lot of patience and concentration to create a sound work. The participants were all really keen and have done very well in all aspects of the project, making great work'". In the words of one service user, Peter Harrison "This was brilliant, I loved it!". Brendan Flanagan, Tatton's General Manager commented "our art programmes provide an ideal way of sharing the experience of Tatton with communities around us This project has provided a great opportunity during Cheshire's Year of Gardens to make the connection between the Flatt Lane group and Tatton Park". oneplace oneplace is Tatton's ambitious landscape-based contemporary art programme, project managed by ARTS UK. Over the past three years, it has provided residencies to artists as celebrated and diverse as sculptor Andy Goldsworthy, film-maker Rob Vale, sculptor Helen Brigham and composer Christopher Mayo.
