Light Festival Choir Workshop Lancaster - 100 Stories High

100 Stories High Choir Workshop

What is the project?

100 Stories High is a new outdoor video projection piece made by imitating the dog. It is being made for Lightpool Festival in Blackpool and also Light up Lancaster Festival. It will be a large-scale animated projection onto a prominent building in each town, accompanied by a new soundtrack by composer, James Hamilton.

The piece will be a 10-minute projection piece, which loops, playing several times throughout each evening. It will use the architecture of the buildings to tell a story about the importance of home, about holding onto memories and sometimes letting go…

We’re looking for local people to join a choir to perform at live nights, to perform the soundtrack to the video work. You don’t need any musical or singing ability. You just need an open mind and enthusiasm!

If you are from, or based in Lancashire, then this is for you. We are happy for families and young people to join, and the age guidance is 11+ People under 15 should be accompanied by an adult.

The workshop will be an introduction to the piece and a chance to get to know it.

Venue: The Gregson Centre, entrance on Moor Gate. In The Olive Bar, upstairs with lift access, toilets with wheelchair access.

There will be 3 live performances:

1 night in Blackpool as part of Lightpool Festival, on 28th October

and

2 nights in Lancaster (at Lancaster Castle) as part of Light Up Lancaster on 4th and 5th of November.

How do I get involved?

Then we ask that you join us to perform at at least 1 of the live event nights, but all 3 if you can. The piece will be performed several times on each live event night, so you will be there for a couple of hours on those nights.
