Creative Food & Foraging Collaborator for Science Engagement Project

The Green Man Festival is an annual music and arts event held near the Black Mountains in Wales with an audience of 20,000 people. It has earned a reputation as one of the great independent festivals in the UK. The 2016 Green Man dates are 18/19/20/21 August.

Einstein’s Garden is a creative fusion of science, art and nature. The area’s venues are packed with a vibrant programme of performances, workshops and installations that use art, entertainment and participation to engage people with the diverse aspects of science and nature in fun, quirky and unexpected ways. http://greenman.net/explore/areas/einsteins-garden/

Einstein’s Garden also produces creative engagement projects working with a wide range of partners and collaborators - http://einsteinsgarden.net/projects/

We are looking for a creative collaborator with knowledge and skills in foraging, cooking and recipe development to work on a science engagement project about forest gardens for Einstein’s Garden at Green Man 2016. We are looking for someone who can engage with ideas in discussions with researchers and respond creatively to those ideas through a collaborative process.

You must be available for occasional development meetings in July/August (likely to be in Exeter and via Skype) and be on site at the festival from Thursday 18th August - Sunday 21st August.

We can provide a ticket to the festival and a fee of £750.

If you are interested please send a short expression of interest (max one side of A4) plus any relevant images and/or links to ellen@greenman.net by 5pm on Friday 8th July.
