Junction Arts want to commission a promenade performance piece to showcase at our two summer events. There will be two days of performances in total, one day at the Chesterfield Children's Festival on Sunday 28th July and one day on either 7th or 8th September at Tapton Lock.
The work will be co-created with three groups of children and/or young people from Chesterfield, Bolsover and North East Derbyshire. Junction Arts will identify the groups and facilitate the sessions.
We're looking for joint applications from musicians and storytellers who can work collaboratively to create and tell, stories that engage the audience and celebrate the area. This commission can incorporate other creative elements and needs to be adaptable to the different landscapes of both festivals. For example, it may be possible that some part of the work could take place on a narrowboat for the Tapton event.
