Join UP Projects’ The Floating Cinema and artists Tracy & Hobbs at King’s Cross Granary Square steps for a day of ‘Water Folk’ activities as part of the Camden New Wave festival. The Floating Cinema will host an afternoon of waterbug discovery activity. Take a close look through microscopes and magnipots at the cornucopia of fascinating creatures you can dip direct from the canal with artists Tracy & Hobbs. Observe these creatures’ movements and shapes from their hidden world as never seen before – magnified onto our custom built cinema screen or projected bank-side after dark – and see if yours is the catch of the day!
After finding and making your observations of a mass of minute creatures, enjoy capturing their movements on our animation table. We will be making flip-books and spinning thaumatropes for you to take home and treasure. Plus, all afternoon we will have regular screenings on board of Tracy & Hobbs Water Folk, which is a short animation made in conjunction with pupils form Gayhurst Community School, Ray’s Geezers, and Sharp End’s over 60’s community group. Enjoy a day of free family-friendly activity on-board the Floating Cinema.
UP Projects’ Floating Cinema is a project by artists Somewhere and is designed by Duggan Morris Architects. The Floating Cinema is supported by The Legacy List, the charity of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park with their corporate partner Bloomberg as part of Bloomberg East in partnership with Canal & River Trust.
