Mini Outdoor Threshold Festival at The Atkinson, Southport as part of Independents Biennial coinciding with the launch of Sefton Open 2018.
Grass-roots, multi-arts festival Threshold have teamed up with Independents Biennial & The Atkinson, Southport to deliver a free, family friendly outdoor mini-festival on Saturday 28th July 2018. The event is one of the Independents Biennial’s five special commissions taking place during the visual arts festival, which runs until 28th October in Liverpool, Sefton, Knowsley, Wirral and St Helens. The sister festival to Liverpool Biennial, it champions and supports emerging and grassroots art and artists on Merseyside.
The day of events by Threshold, including a mix of visual arts, performance, storytelling and music, will take place at the renowned Atkinson arts centre from 11am until 3pm.
The line-up of offerings, open to all, includes the following:
Interactive performance and theatre shows from ‘Funny Looking Kids: Comedy Club’ and Storytelling from the magically talented Gav Cross.
A visual arts programme including interactive live sculptural and drawing workshops, using live performances on the day for inspiration from: Pamela Sullivan (creator of detailed and fascinating installations); and Jazamin Sinclair (creator of satirical acerbic storyboard illustration series Illustrated Prosody).
Music entertainment will come from: ‘Operation Lightfoot’, a music and arts collaboration directed by composer Luke Moore; stand-out, powerful country rock & roll from Amber Stone; and folk-punk sounds with biting lyrics & harmonies from Jazamin Sinclair.
“Threshold has grown up in the creative boom of Liverpool’s Baltic Triangle as a multi-arts festival, which is fiercely independent and inclusive-roots. We deliver quality above all from grass-roots, brilliantly talented artists.” Chris Herstad Carney, Threshold Festival Director.
“Working with Independents Biennial and The Atkinson is really close to our hearts. The main focus of the day, as with all Threshold events is to enrich people through art and music, but most importantly for it to be a fun experience for all!” Jazamin Sinclair, Threshold Festival Visual Arts Curator.
Location: The Atkinson, Lord Street, Southport, PR8 1DB.
