This is the last day of Creative Minds talking to Gavin, who is the Director of Farnham Maltings.
Today’s Creative Minds Question is:
You must see a lot of theatre, dance and art – have you seen any by a learning disabled artist or company recently and if so, what did you think about it?
Gavin said:
Never mind learning disabled art one of the best pieces of work I have ever seen, from any company, anywhere was Small Metal Objects from Back to Back Theatre from Australia. I happened to see it in a festival in Canada and it changed the way I view the world. What struck me most was its simplicity, its ambition, how funny it was, how it had us sitting outside a public library in downtown Vancouver. I am much more interested in extraordinary art than who made it. Work that is ambitious and has something to say.
