Something Extraordinary This Way Comes...
A Creative Literacy Project commission with Sharp Lane Primary School Leeds.
Bev and Tony visited Sharp Lane Primary School for a week in February to create a fantastic reimagining of classic children's tale The Gruffalo with Year 2 children. Working with Tony using silk painting, printing, collage and a series of cones the children created their own backdrop, props and costumes for the piece and they created the rest of the ensemble performance with Bev using movement, music and drama. The week culminated in a performance of their masterpiece to family and friends.
We are currently looking at ways of developing this project for future workshops, for further information on our Creative Literacy and Drama workshops, please contact Community Engagement Manager, Charlie Wells
Canals Connect 2
A continuation of the successful Canals Connect Project, funded by the South West Yorkshire Partnership, NHS Foundation Trust.
This will take the form of a creative outreach pilot project targeting SWYPT service users in Castleford, Knottingley and Pontefract through a program of 18 creative workshops. The workshops are happening in community settings with people from a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences. They take inspiration from the canals and waterways that run through the district as well as local waterside nature and wildlife. This project is being used to gauge interest in possible participation for a longer term canals and waterways project as well as developing confidence and mental well-being with participants and engaging SWYPT staff in positive creative practices.

Communities in Time
Communities in Time is a trans-generational project about how people can shape their community and how events can shape the people that live there.
Funded by Wakefield Council through their Creative Partners programme, Communities in Time is an exciting new Community project for Faceless in 2012. Working in partnership with local community groups, libraries and agencies from Knottingley, Airedale & Ferry Fryston, Eastmoor and Portobello, Faceless plan to work with around 80 people to create 4 unique art works which help to tell the story of each community. As well as creating 4 community tree wall hangings, the timelines from each community will be published in a book that will be available through Wakefield Libraries or online through Faceless.
We are launching the project in each area throughout April, May and July, for more information or specific dates and venues, see our calendar or contact Faceless on 01924 335985.
