The Moment When.....
Celebrating the Olympic Flame in the North West with dance, aerial performance, music and pyrotechnics - The Moment When opened at Chester racecourse in a spectacular, visually stunning event. The Moment When... is a first time coloration between cheshire Dance and walk the Plank and a commissioning partnership between Arts Council England, Cheshire West and Cheshire, Cheshire East, Warrington Borough Council and the Cultural Olympiad, North West.
Curious Minds attended the event and captured some of the main event on video. As always actually being there was more stunning than can be captured on film. What was particulary great to see was over 20,000 people of Cheshire turning out to celebrate together, the community and family spirit on Chester Racecourse and throughout Chester on the 29 May was fantastic to be a part of. The Moment When... may have happened because of sport, but it was the arts and culture that brought people together. Proving that arts and culture is essential to all parts of our lives and really is that catalyst that brings families, communities and peoples together to share and celebrate. The Moment When... can still be seen at two more further events at:
Orford Jubilee Park, Warrington (16 June)
Tatton Park, Knutsford (15 July)

Looping the Loop for the start of Games Time
Looping the Loop is the North West’s opening event for London 2012, celebrating the start of Games Time in the UK on 19 May.
The day will came to an amazing climax when one of the UK’s major event producers and creative forces - Walk the Plank - led a world class spectacle focused around the water and the Lowry foot bridge. The finale included the unveiling of an Olympic-inspired artwork which will remain in place on the bridge for the duration of the Games.
Looping the Loop is a partnership project led by Lets Go Global, Trafford Council in partnership with Salford City Council, The Quays Cultural Partnership (Programming & Participation Groups), Marketing Manchester and creative producers Walk the Plank and the Cultural Olympiad in the North West.
In Harmony Liverpool Launches Sea Odyssey Giant Spectacular
Young musicians from West Everton woke the Little Girl Giant in Stanley Park as she began her 3-day city-wide journey on 20 April
The In Harmony Liverpool Ensemble featuring 14 children aged 11-years-old who are all participants in Liverpool Philharmonic’s In Harmony community development programme in North Liverpool opened Liverpool’s 3-day Sea Odyssey Giant Spectacular.
The children played to the Little Girl Giant to wake her up in Stanley Park to start her journey on Friday 20 April playing Thomas Gregory’s Fiery Fiddlers on 2 double basses, 2 cellos, 5 violas and 4 violins.
The In Harmony Liverpool Ensemble is Year 6 students from Faith Primary School in West Everton. All the children are members of the West Everton Children’s Orchestra established in 2009 through In Harmony Liverpool. A genuinely transformative music project inspired by Venezuela’s acclaimed El Sistema, In Harmony Liverpool is engaging over 150 children aged up to 13 years in daily immersive music-making of the highest quality. All children are members of the West Everton Children’s Orchestra, as are all the staff of Faith Primary School, including the Headteacher. Children are making outstanding progress in developing their musical ability as individuals and as an orchestra supported by Liverpool Philharmonic’s In Harmony team.
Michael Eakin, Liverpool Philharmonic’s Chief Executive said: “It’s fantastic recognition of the musical achievements of children taking part in In Harmony Liverpool that they should be invited by the City to contribute to such a momentous and exciting event for Liverpool. Sea Odyssey will be magical and for the In Harmony Liverpool Ensemble to be at the very start of this spectacular journey will be an unforgettable experience for them.”
In Harmony Liverpool’s participation in Sea Odyssey is supported by Curious Minds, Arts Council England’s bridge organisation for the North West which connects children and young people, schools and communities with the arts and culture.
Alice Birdwood, Curious Minds Director said: “We are delighted to be able to support the In Harmony Liverpool Ensemble so they can take part in such an exciting event as Sea Odyssey. This is exactly the kind of initiative we want to support.”
This film captures the start of the Sea Odyssey and gives an insight to what it meant to teachers, parents, artists and most importantly young people to be involved in such a high profile and inspirational arts event. Curious Minds role is to open up and make possible opportunities like this right across the North West and further afield. Championing great arts and culture and connecting children and young people to great arts and culture.
