CREATIVE collaboration
Polity is all about engaging with community: your community.
Producing video is about building relationships: between you and your audience, you and your community, you and your team.
When you start with relationships, and work towards a common goal, lots of truth comes through and strong messages emerge.
Years of experience facilitating group projects and leading media teams with wide variations in experience, confidence and technical skill, including five years working on the Canada-wide Art for Social Change Research Project in Quebec, British Columbia and Alberta have given Flick a wealth of knowledge about community engagement and how creative collaboration can serve your mission. Just ASK!
team building
Polity can facilitate fun, creative workshops that bring your people together. You'll generate photos and videos that can serve as reminders of the moments you spent together, or as data points for further exploration of themes and topics that come out in the process. We can work together for as little as an hour, producing simple photo stories, or up to a whole week producing longer films!
Polity produced this video, about Art for Social Change during Covid, in collaboration with Seanna Connell (ArtBridges), Aquil Virani and the International Centre of Art for Social Change (ICASC).
Since 2016, Vancouver Opera and The Kettle Society have worked together to provide Kettle members with the opportunity to sing, write, and perform with professional artistic support. Video by Polity’s Flick Harrison in collaboration with the Kettle Choir.
A video produced by youth for youth: Polity founder Flick Harrison co-facilitated this production made at the North Vancouver Foundry youth wellness program and the Cinematheque, leading a team of young new filmmakers - the exact audience that the Foundry leadership wanted to target with the video.
This meant the production spoke from youth, to youth - from the ground up.
