Mentoring/coaching
Choules has worked extensively with artists and culture professionals to support their practice through conversation and critical feedback. They specialise in developing artwork and project directions from initial concepts to final pieces; and discussing alternative ways of documenting time-based practice for exhibition, events or publishing. They flow easily with a wide range of media formats and disciplines, especially if the work involves expeditions and fieldwork, exhibition formats and public engagement.

“My conversations with Luce are invaluable. They have a unique, gentle and intuitive way of enabling me to unscramble my thoughts. For many years they have helped me find meaningful frames and flexible structures to hold my projects and interrogate my practice as a whole. I can’t recommend them enough.”

“I think we have covered almost everything on my original list for the coaching – in this thorough reworking of the web site and the written work necessary for that, means that I think I have delved far more deeply into the subject and given my practice the direction it needs.”

“To be honest these mentoring sessions have gone better than I imagined!”

Teaching
Many years ago, Choules worked at Kingston University London, University of Brighton and UAL Central St Martins where they taught in a variety of art and writing courses at both undergraduate and postgraduate degree level. They also devised and delivered coursework content for undergraduate ‘extension studies’ and ‘continuing education’ programmes. In addition, they have delivered readings and professional practice sessions in many instutions and organisations, both in-person and online.

“Embracing change
precarity becomes
terrain
and matter
of consequence
to work with
a field
where we are
held together
not as one
but fluid
loose material
forming encounter
in uncertain movement
with resistance and agility.”
