Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
The autumn of 2021 saw the completion and installation of the 'History Whisperer' digital immersive project for Liverpool's iconic St George's Hall. The project was commissioned by Culture Liverpool and was developed in partnership with two immersive technology companies: Gazooky Studios and Immersive Interactive. It combines storytelling, immersive projections, lighting and original music, created by Music in Mind and recorded by musicians from the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra. It has been received extremely well by both critics and public and will serve as an educational experience and one of Liverpool's tourist attractions for four years. 'Like A Butterfly' began in 2020 and was postponed due to the covid 19 lockdowns. It aimed to combine the disciplines of dance and boxing, through a focus on the life and work of Muhammad Ali, to show the 'art in sport' and to inspire young people to take part in physical activity. The work in 2020 saw a team of young dancers working closely with the coaches and boxers from the Phoenix Fire boxing club in Warrington. They were able to share ideas and techniques that would then form part of the creative process for the project and performances. After running for a number of weeks, the workshops were stopped due to the lockdown in March 2020 however on resuming the project 2 years later in early 2020, the work was carried into the rehearsals and choreographer Ryan Lee Seager was able to work with the dancers to incorporate the boxing techniques learned in the workshops. Teacher and choreographer Stacey Atkinson also worked with community dancers and school children to develop the ideas further and develop their piece 'Reborn' for the performance. The project was received well and we would like to expand the concept further in the future. March 2020 also saw the completion and performance of 'Locked Away'; a two year project to capture the stories and emotions behind the covid 19 lockdowns. The project began during the first lockdown of 2020 and was developed in partnership with The Regenda Group. We were able to use video technology to interview over 100 people from the North West to capture their feelings during the challenging lockdown periods and their interviews were developed into an hour long video opera that received its premiere in March 2022 at The Good Business Festival by an orchestra of musicians from the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra. Music In Mind was delighted to win a national Smiley Charity Film award in March 2020 for the 'Behind Doors' project that told the stories of those affected by domestic abuse. The piece received its premiere back in December 2020 as an online live stream event given during the lockdown period. Music In Mind has continued to work with The Brain Charity on the innovative 'Music Makes Us Happy' dementia project. A Music in Mind singing specialist worked alongside a speech therapist to deliver singing workshops to people living with dementia with the aim of using music to prolong speech. New resources were developed that proved successful in helping people to form certain sounds that they were previously struggling to make. The project has been running for 3 years and will complete in September 2023.
