Here is the first of my "Postcards from East London" films Devons Estate:


A typical estate in Bow. Less than a mile to the London Olympic site. It looks like many other old housing estates. Are they all just the same, or can they be unique?

In 2012, MobileDance and East London Dance came together to deliver Postcards from East London, with teams of artists based in east London and four different community groups from the area. Each community group worked with a different schedule - some meeting once a week for two months, others working intensively over three or four days. The teams had only three hours to shoot each film. 

The result is nine contrasting short films revealing different viewpoints on this vibrant, diverse and rapidly changing part of east London.

The project was funded by High Street 2012, a programme to enhance and celebrate the ribbon of London life that connects the City at Aldgate to the Olympic Park at Stratford in the year of the London Olympics. Postcards from East London was part of Big Dance 2012 in the London 2012 festival, the culmination of the cultural Olympiad.
