Do you mean local Pacifists?

I did ask, more than once, if the funding costs for the flash mob event was just the £1,000.00 paid to the dance teacher.

Despite what was said, it apparently wasn't.

Total budget is £1,160 and is broken down as follows

Dance prep time x 1 day

£100

9 groups @ £15 per hour

£810

Performance co-ordination

£100

Admin

£150

Still, it's ONLY an extra hundred and sixty quid.

A piffling amount in the great scheme of things.

Well, as long as it's community art schemes, funded by the tax payer.

Anyone any information regarding the funding costs of the Victorian Swimming Gala...yet?

Yes.

If we are to have transparency regarding publicly funded arts, as the culture minister said we should, there should be full, and frank openess.

Otherwise it isn't transparent at all.

It isn't an art form.

It's very easy to do.

Happy to help in the promotion.

Even if we don't know the funding costs...yet.

Therefore making it difficult assessing the worth and value to us.

Victorian Swimming Gala on the streets of Accrington
The final event for Accrington is a Victorian Swimming Gala on Broadway on the 27th November. Accrington and Rossendale College are working in partnership with MarkMark Productions to produce a piece of street theatre which will amuse and surprise passers by as they see people 'swimming' up the main street in Victorian costume.

Perhaps, as a piece of performance 'art', they're hoping to incorporate an element of shock, and suprise.

Much like the funding costs will have, when they're made public.

You'll have somewhere to hang your camera bag then, whilst taking photographs.

If you ask one of the 'swimmers' nicely.

I did do a collection for Joseph, that was based on Death in Venice, but those stripes were blue, not red.
