BLAZE: THE BIG GAME 2011 is coming to Lancashire again don't miss out, we are looking for groups to field a team and also enter a brand new unique game or event!

 

Curious Minds are co-producing Blaze across Pennine Lancashire. Blaze is an ambitious youth-led culture and sport programme for Lancashire, Blackpool and the Fylde Coast that is part of WE PLAY, the North West cultural legacy programme for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The Nelson Institute of Sport, developed the BIG GAME in 2010 young producers from the fusion youth theatre, who commissioned New York based artist Tom Russotti to create an alternative sports event.  This event included brand new games and events, which played with the idea of competition and participation. The event was held in Nelson last summer and was a very successful first event. For more information and images please visit the Blaze website:
