Associate Artist Team: Sian Watson Taylor
Hello!
My artistic practice enables connectivity, to support wellbeing and to use my practice as an enabler for participants to achieve their best and build confidence to believe in themselves, enjoy their experience and have fun.
I have been an Associate Artist at Nottingham Contemporary for 11 years, working across programmes, developing, and delivering with schools, young people, communities, and families.
I also collaborate across the region with a range of cultural organisations including The Mighty Creatives, Lakeside Arts Centre, Attenborough Arts and The Spark Arts for Children. Working within learning to devise and deliver a diverse, exciting and innovative range of programmes and activities for schools, teachers, young people, families and community groups; allowing all participants to explore original and imaginative paths, and to ask critical and challenging questions.
I am an advocate of Arts Award, having delivered to over 5,000 children and young people. Exploring how the AA can empower all CYP voices, adapting the AA in SEND settings to ensure all can access and achieve.
I am a lead artist in the PHF SENsory Atelier programme, exploring, and celebrating space for young people with SEND over seven partner schools, so that they can champion themselves through the arts.
My practice focuses on the powerful connection between muscle memory and music. How spaces can be changed and empowered by the physical and mental connections of music, movement and art.
