CARNIVAL ESSENCE
The "Carnival Essence" Roots Archive launched with a bang last May at the Hat Factory. The film "Carnival Essence-The rhythm of the streets", includes interviews with over twenty leading figures of the carnival scene, as well as footage of past carnivals.
Future plans include a poosible national broadcast as well as the film becoming part of LCADT's Edcuational Resource Pack. The project will also focus on the need to expand the archive into a National Resource as it is strongly felt that a National Carnival Archive isnot only needed but long awaited.
We would love to hear your thoughts on the colourful life of the Carnival scene, so that future generations can learn from and enjoy your experiences. If you would like to record your own oral history or feel you can contribute in any way, please contact the office on 01582 728005 or email at info@lcadt.com
