Graham Elstone

Interactive Audiovisual Creative

I work as an artist, creative educator and project/technical Manager, regionally, Nationally and Internationally. Although much of the creative work involves the use of technology a mixed medium approach is always employed resulting in installation work, performance and a fusion of artforms.

My background in theatre and performance has transferred to installation, visual arts and the creation of works using projection or moving image, often in public spaces.

The link between mediums is under-pinned by the content of the work and the communication the artwork has with its audience.

I have particular interests in interactivity, participation, and social/public involvement in the creation of artwork. This often leads me to create works that engage on a variety of levels and for a wide demographic of audience.

I have created and delivered educational projects across a multitude of environments and with diverse groups; ipad work with older generations in care settings to working with students at Nottingham Trent University. I have often devised my own eduction projects with external funding, but have worked with Arts Council, Ignite Futures and the Youth Justice Board to create and deliver projects.

Project management and technical management includes work for International artist Ray Lee, Lightwaves (Salford, The Lowry/Media City), City Arts (Nottingham), Now Festival, Islington International, Barclays New Stages and Japanese dancer Suburo Teshigawara.

Most of my technical and production work is with artists or creative organisations as the projects tend to be bespoke and therefore offer greater challenges and creative input.
