This project was led by creative producer Simon Hollingsworth to acknowledge the upcoming 300th anniversary in 2027 of the death of Isaac Newton, shining a light on his Lincolnshire heritage and resulting in an exciting new tour-able outdoor arts and science public engagement piece.

My role in this project was to design and make a contraption which will demonstrate some of Sir Isaac Newton’s theories which the public can engage with. I used my experience as both a performer and maker to design something which will interact and engage with the public out on the streets.
