Great masterclass today as part of our Colne Winte Great masterclass today as part of our Colne WinterBloom programme. Thanks so much to Richard Babington @whatrichcreates and Chris Ball @whatchriscreates for generously sharing your expertise on all things lighting. We’ve really enjoyed meeting all the participants and discussing different approaches to lighting artworks for parades and events. LOADS to think about, now we’ve just got to try and make sense of our hastily scribbled notes. Oh, and check out the fancy tracking light thing that we made happen by tweaking code!
Calderdale Tales and Trails is now live! We’re r Calderdale Tales and Trails is now live! We’re really excited about this project, it’s a @culturedale key commission and we’ll be working with community groups from right across Calderdale. In February 2025, a brand new outdoor performance will be touring Calderdale, but first we’ve got to make it! Step one is research, character development and deciding on the narrative. In collaboration with 4 community groups and a whole host of creative partners, we’re diving into the rich history of Calderdale Folklore. It’s fascinating stuff, and we’re very lucky to have the expertise of Holly and John from @folklorecentretodmorden - they’re full of fantastic stories and incredible inspiration. Do you have a favourite Calderdale story? We’d love to hear them in the comments! For more info about the project, follow the link in our bio.

It’s been a real pleasure to host the #coatofhop It’s been a real pleasure to host the #coatofhopes this afternoon. Thanks to all who visited and shared their hopes. “The Coat of Hopes is a patchwork pilgrim coat, on an ongoing walk through Britain. Made, worn and walked by many hundreds of people during and since the pilgrimage on which it was created - from the south coast of England to the gates of COP 26, the UN climate summit, in Glasgow autumn 2021. The Coat is made up of pieces of blanket into which people have worked their griefs, remembrances, prayers and hopes for the place they call home. It walks ever calling those who encounter it, or who share it, into the present. Supported by its warmth (love) - to bear its weight (responsibility). So each might “wear the promise that we all belong together” as we seek to respond with our whole self to the climate and ecological emergency.”
