Elemental

Liz Pugh and John Wassell from Walk the Plank were the keynote speakers at the ‘elemental’ event in the North West. They talked about their experience in relation to the region’s theme:

“In the North West our focus is on how local authorities and producers of Street Arts and Circus can use the prospect of a large international event in their city to promote a relevant programme of outdoor activity.”

They began by showing an example of their work from the Manchester Commonwealth Games closing ceremony, see below:

Liz and John gave an insightful, honest and human account of working with large scale sporting events and how this has impacted positively on the artists they worked with, individuals and the company as a whole - quite inspiring.

The elemental team would like to extend a big thank you to Liz and John for stepping in at last minute, and again to Maggie Clarke and her team at Xtrax for their help in giving the North West event, a regional feel.
