Maritime 25: Rhythms & Roots Workshops
Our Rhythms & Roots workshops aim to bring local communities together by celebrating Morecambe’s maritime heritage and environment through creative activities for all to enjoy.
Why Rhythms? When sailors worked on the tall ships, their work on hauling on ropes was co-ordinated using songs (called shanties) with a strong rhythm. We’ll be writing new shanties in the workshops.
Why Roots? We’ll be using creative art work and new writing to celebrate Morecambe’s maritime historical roots.
