Join The Rainbow MayDay Parade by participating online. From your own home/place of shelter, wherever you are in the world, you are invited to participate in this new project. A digital collaborative project. A creative response to the challenge of our unique times, especially the world of outdoor arts/festivals/parades/carnivals. Trooping of the Colours in a very different way!
AN ONLINE PARADE PROJECT - In times when our public gatherings and street parades, festivals and outdoor arts are postponed and on hold physically, Originary Arts’ founder Nikki Shaill would like to invite anyone who wants to be part of a new kind of Parade. The Rainbow Parade creates a way to share creativity, express ourselves and be part of something bigger than we are as individuals, as a response to our current challenges.
A celebration of colour, joy, play, connecting, community and creativity, climaxing on 1 May, a traditional date for parades, marches and festivities on the streets/town squares.
Will you choose to be part of The Reds? The Blue Crew? The Green Team? The Pink Party? The Black Bloco at the Back? Whichever colour of the rainbow you choose, you’re all invited to participate in THE RAINBOW PARADE with Originary Arts and friends.
Online creative ideas to prepare you own Rainbow Parade moment will be shared across the next few weeks. With some DIY making inspiration for parade costumes/movement/props/banners/masks ideas, to help you get ready to film your Parade 10 seconds!
THE FINISHED FILM featuring 100 different people from Australia to London, Wales to Czech Republic, Sheffield to South of France will be shared online at 12pm on 1 May! A MAY DAY PARADE!
