Name: ART62 – Creative Resilience
Artist: Jodie Silverman
The performing arts industry has suffered significantly during the Covid-19 lockdown. With physical venues closing, performers have had to adapt their practice in innovative ways including socially distanced and outdoor performances, bespoke PPE such as specially designed face masks and tutus, and live streamed performances which have used interactive platforms in creative ways.
Creative Resilience shows a dancer holding a laptop which contains a miniature theatre. Despite the challenges she is facing she is holding a space for us to have a nourishing encounter with the arts.
Jodie Silverman is a Manchester based artist, art therapist and creative facilitator. She specialises in figurative oil painting and regularly works to commission. Her work is held in private collections worldwide.
Jodie has worked on over 25 sculpture trails with Wild in Art and loves the inclusive, vibrant and innovative nature of their events. She is passionate about working creatively with people and values the capacity of the creative arts to sustain people and bring them together. Live arts, performance and theatre industry.
