About the project
In May and June 2023, Karen worked with 10 children aged 7 - 12 through a series of workshops at Richmond Barracks, as part of our Creative Residency in Art & Sport.
Each week the children learned basic gymnastics moves, developing their skills as the project progressed. They also made their own rhythmic gymnastics ribbons, an important piece of equipment in the sport.
Together they worked with filmmaker Simon Fitzpatrick of KILIG Productions and musician Ryan McCann to create a short film.
The film premiered as part of a fun-packed family event on Tuesday 5 September 2023 in Richmond Barracks.
