This week our Culture Radar guest is Chief Executive and Artistic Director, Wonder Arts, Fay Lamb.
Loved: I love the work of Liverpool based company Whispered Tales and Echoes From The Islands is no exception. Wonder Arts co-commissioned Liverpool artist Gemma Bond to create Pirate Princess – pole work made family friendly by a strong woman being funny and silly is an inspiration for all little girls. I also have to mention Six – 90 minutes of pure joy!
Looking forward to: Monster Disco from Headstrung at the Unity is a must for families. Wonder Boy telling the story of a 12 year old boy living with a stammer will be a powerful watch at The Playhouse. The River of Light, this year based on the theme of Play is also one that I’m not going to miss.
Trivia: Wonder Arts was previously Citadel Arts and operated the Citadel Arts Centre in St Helens. Wonder Arts is now a children and families organisation presenting performances, participation opportunities and artist development in the Liverpool City Region.
