SUMMARY:Fantastical Flying Machines
DESCRIPTION:Fantastical Flying Machines Workshop\nDiscover the curious true story of the first ever hot air balloon flight with author Moira Benoit who will read her fantastic children’s book ‘Rooso Takes to the Sky’ with a touch of performance and costume. Follow in the footsteps of inventor Joseph-Michel and join illustrator Louis Benoit in designing and drawing your very own fantastical flying machine! \nMORIA BENOIT \nOn leaving Glasgow School of Art\, Moira followed a career in theatre design\, and while researching for a play for children she came across a series of interesting and amusing true events leading to the first hot air balloon flight at Versailles in 1783. Ultimately it led to a rather wonderful\, informative and funny book; Rooso Takes to the Sky. Moira has designed for Selfridges\, Phoenix Dance Company\, Northern Broadsides and The Wakefield Mystery Plays. \nLOUIS BENOIT \nLouis was a finalist of The Guardian’s Young Cartoonist of the Year\, 2017 and winner of The Hoffman Art Prize 2018. From a very young age it was obvious that Louis had an exceptional drawing ability\, but found conventional schools never quite suited him. He was diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome at a late age and finds unique ways of expressing his ideas\, humour and unusual view on things through drawing. He graduated from The Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in 2011 and has exhibited at The Artworks\, Halifax\, The Artsmill\, Hebden Bridge\, Gallery on the Corner\, Edinburgh\, and The Stafford Gallery\, London. His animated film Goat on a Scooter\, gained critical acclaim at film festivals worldwide including Krakow\, Orlando\, Rome and Birmingham. \nESSENTIAL INFORMATION \nWorkshops lasts 1 hour and 15 minutes and take place at 10.30am and 1pm. \nChildren must be accompanied by an adult. Suitable for ages 6+.

SUMMARY:Hidden Histories: Deeds Not Words
DESCRIPTION:HIDDEN HISTORIES: DEEDS NOT WORDS\n‘I went to gaol a rebel but I have come out a regular terror.’ Halifax born Laura Annie Willson was twice imprisoned in 1907 for her actions in support of women’s suffrage. \nDuring her campaigning she encountered violent assaults and threats but she was never deterred and declared\, ‘If they could sentence me for thinking I’d have been sentenced for life.’ \nThroughout her life Laura Annie followed the suffragette motto of ‘deeds not words’. When she saw the need for change she did something about it! \nDeeds not Words tells the story of the suffragette years of this truly remarkable woman; mill girl\, agitator\, engineer\, innovator\, house-builder – and MBE. \nHidden History uses theatre to bring to life the historical stories of the locations they are performed within.

SUMMARY:Summer Daze Weekend
DESCRIPTION:SATURDAY 26 & SUNDAY 27 JUNE\, 11AM – 5PM \nFREE ENTRY \nA jam-packed weekend of outdoor family entertainment\, with street theatre\, slapstick comedy and circus\, plus some of our favourite food and drink pops ups. Featuring: \nARTIZANI PRESENTS DESERT ISLAND DISCS \nA tropical island\, a gramophone\, flotsam\, jetsam and one hapless castaway. 20 years pass in 40 minutes as records spin and rescue never comes\, then as the island gives up its secret the show ends in a beautifully surreal spectacular finale. \nMADAME ZUCCHINI \nMme Zucchini creates an amazing world of characters and creations out of vegetables. Come and see who’s with her on the day – could it be Justin Timberleek? Or Greta Iceberg? You can even have a go at making your own vegetable creation – all veg provided. \nCURIOUS CARGO PRESENTS LOST LUGGAGE PORTERS \nEncounter a world of monochrome and mime as the Lost Luggage Porters muddle their way through our modern-day metropolis in search of the ever-evasive railway station. Be transported back to the era of silent films; soak-up the soundscape of steam trains; and delight in their puzzlement and predicaments. \nMANYARD FLIP FLAP PRESENTS MAN IN A BOX \nThis internationally acclaimed act is like no other. Curiosity is aroused by the arrival of a silent clown with a box. Despite his size\, he climbs in and manages to shut the lid. As the audience try to discover what will happen next\, the box grows legs\, leaps into life and scuttles off. Meeting and greeting are a speciality\, give him half a chance he’ll have you dancing and playing footsie. \nMIKE HANCOCK PRESENTS BIGGER THAN ELVIS & CROONING CAPTAIN \nJoin the comedy singing sea captain for a feast of visual surprises\, live songs and funny tricks. Great tunes from Sinatra to electro swing to Dock of the Bay with silly stunts and audience interaction. Watch out for the magically multiplying bottles\, the soaking rain dance and the impossible drinks balance. Plus\, an 8-foot stilt Elvis makes a comeback tour singing his greatest hits. \nFROLICKED PRESENTS NEVER TOO OLD \nA long-suffering Grandpa and a stubborn Grandma battle it out for your attention and affections. This octogenarian Yorkshire couple have certainly been around for decades\, but they’re no strangers to the 21st century. The feisty\, mobile (just about)\, puppet duo provide a love story with a difference through their antics and arguments\, and they’re living proof that you’re never too old to do anything. \nSKYLIGHT CIRCUS \nCome and try your hands and feet at a variety of different circus skills in this family friendly workshop by Skylight Circus Arts. Get yourselves in a spin with plates and diabolo\, wobble on a pedal go and wiggle with a hula hoop.
