From the success of over 1000 people attending the relatively unpublicised
event in 2007, this year will be even bigger and better!
In
the gallery space artists including Laurence Elliot,
Joe Worthington, Joe Loughbourgh and
Splendid Collective will exhibit new artwork. Critically
acclaimed Contemporary dance group Lila Dance will
perform alongside Bodyjack and Cai Tomos.
Bands include hotly-tipped musical acts such as Maybe She Will,
Flies are Spies from Hell and Theory
astonishing..." John Peel. Comedy and poetry afternoons will
include engaging local talents such as Pete Walsh (as
seen on channel4.com) and Aether Flyer. There will
also be a film showcase, open-mic session and workshops,
including Beat Boxing, African Drumming,
Music Improv, Graffiti and Group
Singing. Graffiti artists from all over the
south coast will paint a mural at the Boys Club, leaving behind some
lasting visual JOY.
As
part of the I Am Joy ethos, the organisers aim to
not only achieve a new diverse exhibition of artwork, but to solidify
a community of artists contributing towards future projects. We seek
to include and involve the young people of Chichester, for example by
inviting underage musicians to perform when it can be difficult to find
venues for them to do so.
I
AM JOY. YOU ARE JOY. WE ARE JOY.
