Many people of all physical abilities and ages were filmed on the streets of Gateshead making the words with their bodies. The project was supported by Gateshead council arts team as part of the 'Angel of the North' 10th birthday celebrations. The poem is by Kevin Cadwallender working with local older persons groups. This is my go at doing this, I'd be really interested to see any examples of similar ways of making words or people who have done the same thing but maybe developed it more as I am intrested in this kind of thing. The poem was by Kevin Cadwallender and the work was commsioned to celebrate the 10th birthday of the Angel of the North...Thanks, hope you like.

  • whys it filmed outside the sage?

  • the film is kind of a short trip, from the Sage to the angel by way fo the council chambers.. we also chose three bakcdrops that had architectual interest,a nd were kind of letter shapped..all the best.

  • who is the song by and what is it?? is it satie??

  • yes it's satie..the tune Gnossienne Number 1

  • With regard to your comment below, wouldn't it be better to make it the best for the people viewing it, rather than fun those doing it? Be fair to the poem, not the people? This is meant to be a constructive comment, even if it doesn't come across that way.

  • No, thank you for the constructive criticism.. The people invovled are community groups, and basically projects are constructed through a negotiation of what I want to do, and what they want to do, to keep it fun for them. None are paid or anything like that.
