In summer – autumn 2021 we delivered a creative arts project exploring the history and heritage of Clackmannanshire, through the creation of a recorded audio performance. The project was delivered in two phases, and engaged 23 young people. Phase 1 took place in the school summer holidays 2021, and was focused on research. A group of young people began researching the history of Clackmannanshire through creative workshops, a visit to Dollar Museum, a session with a local historian and individual research, supported by OYCI staff via regular check in’s on Zoom. The research was collated on Tumblr, and young people began to select themes and strands of research that they found most interesting, to take forward into phase 2. In Phase 2, OYCI’s Creative Arts team worked alongside freelance composer and sound designer, Ross Brown, to create the audio performance. Young people met over 6 intensive full day sessions on Sundays, to bring the research to life through drama, song, storytelling and creating sound effects. Young people showed a huge level of commitment to this project, and worked very hard to bring their creative ideas to life. OYCI’s coding club also took inspiration from the project themes, and used their coding skills to create computer games based on Clackmannanshire’s history of witches. The final piece was shared at an outdoor event at Gartmorn Dam- a local nature reserve, with beautiful views of the Ochil Hills, which were referenced throughout the piece. Audience members were asked to bring their own phones and headphones, and go for a walk around Gartmorn Dam, while listening to the audio performance.
