Making a comeback...

I'm delighted to announce that the Home Ed. Art group have been successful in applying to join this years 2013 Manchester Day parade.

Obviously this brings with it the pressure of knowing that there is an expectation of great things. And as work gets under way our bold commitment to integrate the project into our home ed. lives, becomes a juggling nightmare.

 

On the bright side, ‘HeArt’ have 3 dedicated parent/ artists who will bring their experience to the process, and as a ‘family learning’ group each family brings their talents and time to the project; this is an un-measurable resource, but we’ve got loads of it.

 So, as a tempting nugget, here is our initial vision. 

‘Wish you were here?’. Manchester-on-Sea 3013. 

Rising sea levels have brought destruction to many of the great centres of the world; New York and London are underwater. The altered coastline has brought destruction, and opportunity. 

Here, the holiday crowds are enjoying the strolling entertainment on the new Deansgate prom., as they celebrate the opening of the Hilton lighthouse.

A concert party of musicians, jugglers and entertainers perform as they promenade. 

They hark back to another age, of sandcastles and Punch and Judy, and the Rusholme Pavilion.

A leviathan, dredged up from the polluted waters, provides beautiful harmonies to the troupes rendition of ‘I do like to be beside the seaside’, and all of Manchester hopes that, for today at least, ‘The sun has got his hat on’.
