Main news so far this month is that the Bromley HLF 'Parks for People' bid has been turned down, with the main reason being cited as the current possible development by ZhongRong Holdings . Also check out the 'Inspired by the Subway' project website, which has a page dedicated to the development...
I have just made a quick twitter update of the latest tweets in the ongoing Crystal Palace Development news...
From around 2016 I think!
I have an ongoing interest in the The Great North Wood. When working on projects about The Crystal Palace I became entranced by the idea of the wood that previously covered much of the local area - It would have spanned from Camberwell to Croydon!
I recently developed two music and storytelling projects for adults with learning disabilities about the Great North Wood. The first was a weekly class for adults with learning disabilities based at West Norwood Leisure Centre about The Great North Wood, developed with a collective entitled Sound Tracks. This comprises of Keith Park, Emmie Ward and me.
The second project was in association with The London Wildlife Trust and funded by the Crystal Palace Park Fund. Coralie Oddy, Emmie Ward and I developed and delivered 10 sessions for adults with learning disabilities in Crystal Palace Park about it's history - centring on its history as part of The Great North Wood. Find out more about Sound Tracks here.
In May 2013, I jointly created a tree walk in Crystal Palace Park with a museum colleague. The walk included nature activities and storytelling about the Great North Wood for local children.
In June 2015, I jointly curated an event about The Great North Wood in Brockwell Park as part of the MADD 2015 programme. The event included folk music, blue printing and storytelling.
Am I causing more distractions for myself or creating something that will be of productive use for my final course project and of an interesting read for others? Only time will tell! Lets see if this posts to Twitter and or Facebook!
Link to my Crystal Palace Park Community Audio Trail (so far...)
Finale of the fantastic spoken word event that was part of the crystal palace overground festival! Glad I went. Would be great to have some park related spoken word in the audio trail.... Ill look into it. Time to sleep ready for the full on festival day tomorrow...
