Hello,
We
hope you've all been keeping safe and well. It’s been a long few
months and we are sorry not to have been able to meet up with
audiences and participants in real life.
While we make plans for events and activities for when we can meet
in person again, we've been busy creating some online activities
for families, a new network to bring together the arts
community, and a new series of short films that show the resilience
and creativity of businesses and community groups in North
Kirklees. And we’ve worked with many partners to deliver arts
activity packs to groups and families, and to support refugee
and migrant communities to create a digital memorial.
The
Creative Scene team are all working from home so follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for all the latest
news about what we are up to and how to get involved.

BANK
is our new initiative, bringing together the arts community in and
around North Kirklees.
A place for creative practitioners of all kinds who are interested
in creative people and places, BANK will include a regular
monthly meet up (online, if we can’t meet in person) with artists’
talks, professional development, exhibitions and residency
opportunities.
BANK
is a movement of artists with important things to say about the
issues facing towns and neighbourhoods, a creative community coming
together to share, challenge, learn and grow.
Watch
out here for more events coming soon and be part of BANK.

BANK:
Highlighted Artist #1
Pauline Leitch is our first local artist to be
profiled
|
|
|
To launch BANK, we’ve been talking to artists
based in our area – about their work and how they got started, what
they have been up to during lockdown, and taking a
tour around their studios.
Our
first spotlight is on Pauline Leitch, a visual artist and
storyteller, whose journey to becoming an artist has been full of
twists and turns.
Pauline is also the new Co-Event Director at Dewsbury parkrun
- and you might recognise her from the Personal Branding workshops
at Brigantia that she ran last year.

Lockdown
Lives
A new series of short films
|
|
|
Lockdown
Lives is a series of short films from Creative Scene, documenting
the stories from North Kirklees business, community groups and
charities during COVID-19.
Made by filmmaker Alistair I Macdonald, Lockdown Lives will be
released throughout summer 2020 and will revisit familiar faces at
The Pie Shed and The Underwater Hockey Club, as well as introducing
new places and people.
For our first short film, we're revisiting Emma at The Pie
Shed. She had to close her doors when lockdown was announced
- but she's found innovative ways to keep the community fed
with their famous handmade cakes, brownies and sweet treats.

Get Creative with Guy Hargreaves
|
|
|
|
|
|
Guy Hargreaves has been keeping us creative with a
series of easy how-to guides
|
|
Actor,
musician and all-round creative, Guy Hargreaves is currently
undertaking a period of research in North Kirklees to make
Invisible Ink, a new show about friendship and letter-writing.
As COVID-19 has meant that Guy can’t get out and about in the
community, he’s taken his research online and has made a series of
creative how-to guides about letter writing, friendship and
imagination to keep the kids (and big kids) entertained during
lockdown.
You could turn your hand at making a magical time machine,
write a letter to a long-lost pal or even have a go at launching an
animated rocket into space.
We've seen some brilliant creative creations come from families who
have been following along at home, so remember to tag us on social
media in any of your makes.

Small
Contentments
Digital
Memorial will be released on Saturday 11 July on our Facebook page
|
|
|
Made in
partnership with 6 Million+, Small Contentments will create a
digital memorial to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the
genocide at Srebrenica in Bosnia.
Bringing together refugee and migrant communities, families,
students and artists from Leeds and Kirklees, those taking part are
making cubes of Rahat Lokum (Bosnian Turkish Delight) from things
found in the home or garden - flower petals, cake, paper, fabric
and wool - to remember those who lost their lives at
Srebrenica.
