JOIN WAITING LIST
Plymouth creative, Gabi Marcellus-Temple, invites you to a jump on, jump off drawing activity for bus passengers to come across and for the avid doodlers to book onto.
Think of a giant, co-created consequences game of doodles, based on the journeys we all take on the same bus route. Each person can draw part of a journey e.g. the bus stop, the bus from inside or outside, something along the way like a bridge or building or even an event they took the bus to, then they pass on the sketch book to someone else and continue.
Timings
-
Gabi will begin the workshop at Moment's Cafe (bottom of New George Street next to the Plymouth City Council Shop along from WH Smith) at 1pm on Saturday 4 February
-
Catch Plymouth Citybus 20A from Royal Parade at 1:30pm (drawing as we travel)
-
Arrive at Ivybridge Town Hall at 2:30pm
-
Enjoy looking round Ivybridge for an hour and talk to Gabi about the drawings at Watermark Cafe
-
Catch the 20A from Ivybridge at 3:35pm, arriving back at Royal Parade at 4:55pm
This workshop is free and Plymouth Citybus have generously arrange for free bus travel during the event for all participants.
Note on timings:
Wheelchair accessible spaces on buses are limited. As Gabi is a wheelchair user, if the wheelchair space is already occupied on the 1:30pm service 20A journey, the group will be unable to travel. If this happens the workshop will move back to Moments Cafe and the group will catch a later 20A bus that day. While we appreciate this isn't ideal we can't know in advance if another wheelchair user will be travelling and we really appreciate the group having a flexible approach.
Attendee guidance / trigger warnings / safe space
Age Guidance: suitable for ages 16
Emotional / trigger warnings: non expected
Health warnings: we will be travelling by bus so there will be other members of the public travelling with us. If you'd feel more comfortable wearing a face covering you can do so.
Barbican Theatre is a safe space - safe to be who you are, regardless of race, class, religion, country of origin, immigration status, (dis)ability, age, gender, identity, or sexual orientation.
About Your Workshop Leader
Gabi Marcellus - Temple
I’m Gabi - I’m a visual artist, writer and translator. I’m based over the bridge in Saltash, but I often work in Plymouth and nearly always get there on the bus! I’ve lived in and around Plymouth since I was sixteen - an alarmingly long time ago - and my two sons were born and raised here. I’m proud to call this extraordinary place my home!
Gabi's response to the Meet Me At The Sundial brief:
As a wheelchair user, my experience of the buses might be a little bit different to other people’s. I nearly always travel by bus as it’s convenient and environmentally friendly and I really enjoy chatting to the different people I meet. My project will be about sketches, writing and interviews for a podcast. My PA and I plan to start out by going on picnics round Plymouth based on the area - we’ll have ham sandwiches in Ham and battenberg cakes at Mountbatten to start off and then see where that leads us and who we meet on the way!
