Arts in the Park focuses on delivering free workshops, performances and projects in and around Cutteslowe Park, with and for the community.
The North Wall is part of the Cutteslowe Community Hub and shares the aim to bridge the gap of social divide through art and shared experience. We believe that everyone should be able to access high quality art and understand that traditional theatre spaces may be a barrier for some new audiences and therefore, we hope to meet new audiences and participants through Arts in the Park.
Unknown Forest | Sept 2021
Unknown Forest is an interactive adventure for families, created by Simon Daw. Audiences received a letter from a girl named Hazel, who explained how she had followed a Nightingale into the forest and lost her way. Along with the letter, audiences were given a booklet of activities and clues that they needed to complete to finish the story and become a Wildlife Protector. Audiences made their way into the Woodlands, following a map and looking out for clues, they were presented with beautiful installations; from a viewing box disguised as a bird’s nest, to a wind up radio under a canopy to a motion sensor audio story placed amongst the trees. School workshops took place inside The Cutteslowe Garden Project and the family wrap around activity was set up on the green in front of The Cutteslowe Garden Project. 240 people took part over 3 days.
