My Interests

I'd like to meet:



Commonwealth Suite, features two new Collective film commissions by Jordan Baseman and Henna-Riikka Halonen.

Jordan conducted interviews with The Royal Commonewealth Pool staff, users and original architect. Henna-Riika worked with members of Edinburgh's Junior Diving Club to re-stage The Bath House; a Russian Constructivist play.

Roll it to me features film and video work by artists whose practice negotiates a relationship with a Collective. Roll it to me includes a new film commission by Pil and Galia Kollectiv which completes The Future Trilogy. Erasure and So Small by Tim Etchells, artistic director of Forced Entertainment, also Le PingPong d'Amour parts 1 and 2 by TeamPingPong.

Now entering its 10th year NWSP is a Collective initiative recognised as giving recent, Scottish based graduates their first significant opportunity. NWSP identifies and supports, through an annual policy of open application, some of the most promising new talent working in Scotland.
