Rebecca Sharp continues her journey creating 'POETA', a scent for Spark at Generator Projects today from 12-2pm. We are open 12-5pm. All welcome.
Rebecca has been collaborating with artist and perfumer Valerie Sutton on this idea devised by Michael Curran and funded by Creative Scotland and Leisure and Culture Dundee through Generator Projects.
With her early experience in theatre and performance, Rebecca's work is suffused with an interdisciplinary approach. Currently based in Fife, Scotland, she has made work throughout the UK by a variety of residencies, commissions and artist-led projects.
As a writer, she has worked in collaboration with sound artists, composers, musicians, performers and visual artists, making work in formal, informal and site-specific contexts.
Recent work has combined poetry and performance (The Ballad of Juniper Davy and Sonny Lumiere), poetry and paintings (Unmapped), text and sound art (Rules of the Moon), poetry and textiles (Fathoming: setting poetry to silk), poetry and scent (Five Charms for the Potingair). Her most recent play, The Air That Carries The Weight, was performed at the Traverse theatre in Edinburgh in 2016, commissioned by Stellar Quines theatre company.
She regularly runs creative writing and interdisciplinary workshops in educational and community settings.
