Blaze and Blackpool Council are seeking expressions of interest from dance practitioners who would like to be considered to develop a new movement performance piece. It will be performed at three major events starting with the Torch Relay celebrations in June, Under The Town festival in August and representing Blackpool at the Preston Guild in September.
The successful practitioner will deliver sessions choreographing several sports and dance groups from Blackpool into one performance piece inspired by the movements present in the groups sporting activities and different dance styles. This could be, choreographing a Judo group with dance movements developed around their martial art actions, opposite a Hip Hop dance group, a Basketball team with dance movements developed around basketball actions and tricks opposite a musical theatre group.
This project has the values and themes of London 2012 at the centre of its thinking.

Budget
There is a fee of £1875 attached to this project which will cover your time for consultation meeting with Silver Arts Award young people, 12 sessions with groups and 3 performance days. Fees include travel and expenses.

Context
In 2010 Blaze’s young producers in Blackpool commissioned Dan Fox from Sound Intervention to create the Boom Bike, a unique mobile sound system. In 2011 the project entered a new phase of development in partnership with More Music, resulting in the formation of the ‘Blaze Boom Bike Big Band’, an excellent, unique, flexible, dynamic, inspirational travelling performing outfit made up of talented young people aged between 15 -22 and Boom Bike creator, Dan Fox. This youth-led band have since performed to great acclaim at events throughout the Northwest. 2012 sees the third phase of development of the Band.
The project will widen participation and encourage involvement with young people across Lancashire exploring the relationship between art, sport and physical activity as well of course as developing the musical aspects of the project. The ambition for the Blaze Boom Bike Big Band is to create a high quality, excellent flexible performance ensemble comprising up to 35 young people as musicians, dancers or physical performers.
