Light Up Lancaster Programme 2016

4-5TH NOVEMBER 2016

LANCASTER

An illuminating guide to our magical event

Light Up Lancaster is brought to you by: We gratefully thank our funders and sponsors:

This year, we have taken our inspiration from the city and its people.

We’ve been thinking about our city’s history and what it’s like to live in our city today, a vibrant modern city, with the whispers of the past in its walls.

Join us to look into the city’s heritage and the traces of the lives lived here before us: Take part in Lock & Key at Lancaster Castle, reflecting upon its history as a prison and as the city’s most iconic landmark. ..............................................

Discover the tales of settlers and visitors to our city as they arrive via the sea and canal. ..............................................

See the city’s architecture represented in Illuminated City, as historic buildings stand tall amongst huddled houses and cobbled streets. ..............................................

Explore our location on an unforgiving coast as we find ourselves at the mercy of the elements in Light Rain and On the Edge of a Rising Tide. ..............................................

Encounter images of yourselves and those around you projected onto LightWeight’s globe. ..............................................

And appreciate the help from our valuable supporters:

Connect with others to create a surge of energy which will light up the Judges’ Lodgings.

So stop a while and take time out at Light Up Lancaster.

Reflect on our unique city make-up, discover the stories and secrets of our past, pause and say hello to your neighbours, make new connections and, together, enjoy our city as a unique, after-dark playground.

Urban Lights Contacts @ JUDGES’ LODGINGS

An interactive sound and light installation realised through human touch.

Lock and Key @ LANCASTER CASTLE A Castle, a Prison, a Fort.

For a thousand years Lancaster Castle has kept them in and kept them out, an immovable force for the city and its people.

For Lock and Key Illuminos bring the castle itself alive, with a chance for you to listen to its secrets and work with others to break through lock or door or portcullis and escape the walls.

In a large scale interactive projection artwork, the courtyard will reverberate with sonic and visual codes emerging from the walls. Remember the code, play the notes back correctly as a team and the layers of this mighty fortress will clang and tumble open.

Will you make it through the defences to the freedom of the city and the beautiful landscape beyond? Or will you remain trapped in the castle, held behind lock and key?

This interactive artwork only comes alive when people come together and make contact.

This tactile installation at the historic Judges Lodgings, brings people together in a collective experience of sounds and light. As people link up, their bodies are transformed into real sonorous human instruments which bring the building alive with colour and sound.

Scenocosme artists from France bring to Lancaster this unique sensory experience between people, which animates the human connections which we can’t see.
