| Description | Papers regarding projects created by Gene Adams at the historic houses owned by the Greater London Council (GLC), namely Kenwood The Iveagh Bequest (referred to as Kenwood), Marble Hill House, and Ranger's House.
After a few experimental summer projects arranged in cooperation with the curator of the houses, Adams developed a series of projects which were held during almost every summer and Christmas until 1988 mostly at Kenwood and Ranger's House. The activities were based upon the collections in the houses and featured drama, art and music workshops, utilised costumes from the ILEA costume department, and contributions from experts in various fields including artist, actors, sculptors and dancers. Adams also ran some in-services course for teachers at the houses which used material from the children's activities. |
