Environment
Green issues are high on the agenda of the Liverpool Culture Company, and we are trying to make sure that all our events and projects are as environmentally friendly as possible.
Projects also creatively encourage the concept of 'reduce, reuse, recycle' and caring for the world around us.
Work is undertaken with many partners plus the support of Groundwork North West and the Environment Agency.
Projects include:
Fragrant - The Fragrant project investigates the fascinating story of the city's Botanical Collection and the people involved in its intriguing history. it has both a glorious and tragic past and Artist Jyll Bradley aims to draw all the fascinating tales together into an illustrated book and billboard exhibition.
Jyll is collecting information and photographs about the history of the Botanical Collection, if you would like to share your memories, please call 0151 233 4399 leave your name and number and someone will get back in touch shortly afterwards.
Look of the City / A City in Progress - 'A City in Progress' is part of the Look of the City Programme which uses creative writing, visual art and photography to create images and text to be used on hoardings surrounding developments and key buildings creating a dynamic exhibition of a city in progress, its people and its culture.
Theatre in the Park - Initially developed in 2004 in Knowsley through partnership with the Friend's of Stadt Moers Park, Knowsley Arts Service and Spike Theatre.
Its success led to the project being expanded into Liverpool's Otterspool Park through the Liverpool Culture Company's Creative Environment Programme.
Now in its fifth year the project expands to include Halton engaging an even greater number of performers and crew with an adaptation of the classic tale of Alice in Wonderland. The productions are created with a 50-strong team who transform Merseyside's lesser-known parks into giant promenade theatre venues, with puppets, props and picnics. The script and music are devised collaboratively with the cast to produce a unique experience.
Remember: on average every person in the UK throws away his or her own body weight in rubbish every seven weeks!
