Woven Threads


The next part of Fabric has been the drama project with Avaes Mohammad, with movement work by Balbir Singh.

For eight days, eight local people shared their own personal stories and connections with Blackburn with Darwen.  On the final evening; Friday 23rd November; Blackburn Museum and Art Gallery became the venue for the performance of these stories.

The impact has been extremely positive, with comments from participants showing leaps in confidence and self belief beyond our expectations.  As part of an approach to evaluation, each participant kept a diary.  I have, with people's permission, taken some extracts from these diaries to show the process in their own words and the following posts will show these extracts.
