Rose Gordon, Ola Brown and Harmeet Chagger

Popcorn and Ice-cream

This rather green but talented bunch (of bananas) met on a participatory art training course called Flying Start. Although being Bachelorettes of Arts, they felt that they needed to tap into their latent talents in order to develop further. Harmeet Chagger is a photographer and filmmaker, Rose Gordon is a dancer and choreographer and Ola Brown is a writer.

Chagger, Gordon and Browns' first project, Popcorn & Ice cream, was conceived by Gordon, who as a single parent felt that it would be beneficial to create a performance piece based on the trials, tribulations and triumphs of single-parenthood. After discussing and further developing her idea with Chagger, they both approached Collide for funding. It was at this stage that Brown, who is also a single parent, came on board.

The diversity of talent within the group reduces the possibility of 'death by diva-ism' a condition that struck The Supremes more than 30 years ago, causing one member to get all the glory and the other two to plot their revenge! The three artists plan to collaborate on future projects.
