UNTITLED by Ms Kandinsky
with Alex Norman
THE PERFORMER
Ms. Kandinsky is Alex Norman – musician, actress, mother, circus artist and kids’ writer/entertainer. She may be multi talented but has always been convinced she ‘can’t do art’. This was the motivation behind the show, with an aim to instil in each and every child a confidence that ‘art is for all’ and ‘you can do it your way’.
THE PERFORMANCE
Originally commissioned by the Art Gallery of NSW for their Gallery Kids programme, ‘Untitled by Ms. Kandinsky’ is an inspirational tale of artistic A. With music and theatrics, lively audience interactive segments, a brief history of abstract art and an opportunity for everyone to create their own individual masterpiece
start with a dot, a squiggle or mark.
Take lines for a walk, abstract shapes will appear.
Where will it end, where to go from here?
Unthink your thinkings, set your mind free,
enjoy the journey, now that is the key!
Each student will walk away with the password to download their very own ‘artistic licence’.
