To anyone who has been reading for a while, the project that started this blog was Moving Tides, the Weymouth childrens carnival. With 700 children, Moving Tides was part of the cultural Olypiad taking place a couple of weeks before the Olympics started. Unfortunately the day before the carnival was meant to take place, it had to be cancelled due to the weather - all of Weymouth flooded, there was torrential rain and the wind was high.
I am delighted to report that Moving Tides is back on, and its going to be bigger then ever as Moving Tides is now part of the closing ceremony for the Paralympics in Weymouth. It will be this Sunday, starting at Weymouth College.
This is very exciting for the ten of us at AUCB who worked with the children and teachers designing and making the costumes as we will finally get to see the costumes worn together and take part in the carnival. All of us are precessing with our schools - with the exception of Andrew, who will be wearing one of the large scale costumes built by our third years (now graduates) as Neptune! Complete with blue beard.
For anyone who hasn't seen about Moving Tides - here are a few of the costumes the school I was working with will be wearing, made in workshops by the children from my design.
Keep watching for Sunday's update or better yet - get down to Weymouth! But if you can't, then catch us on the news, we will be there.
