North Tyneside Sound Walk 2020

21 ECHOES

Location: North Shields, Tyne and Wear, England, United Kingdom

In partnership with the North Tyneside Learning Trust, the Parliamentary Archives, and Nexus (Tyne & Wear Metro), the North Tyneside Sound Walk 2020 saw Year 9 children from 3 secondary schools working together to create a unique resource for visitors to their local area.

Over two weeks, the children worked together with artists, musicians, teachers, archivists and more, to uncover stories from the history of North Tyneside.

Inspired by these stories, the children developed three sound walks, and visual art for an exhibition in a local art gallery.

Created, devised & performed by the children of Norham, John Spence Community and Marden High Schools.

Credits: Oboe – Tim Keasley Tuba – Danielle Price Trombone – Ian Sankey Euphonium – Martin Thomson

Artists & workshop leaders – Hannah James, Ellen Erichsen & Harry Hughes.

Additional narration by Beth Donkin. Recorded on location by Joe Snape. Mixed and mastered by Pierpaolo Demarchi. Design by Kamilla Vinther.

Sunderland
YOU ARE HERE: SUNDERLAND is a brand new, geo-tagged audio trail that transforms familiar streets into a soundscape of local stories, memories, and snatches of conversations. It’s a "choose your own adventure" with sound, inviting you to reconnect with the often-overlooked details around you and see Sunderland with fresh eyes, all at your own pace. Go and explore the YOU ARE HERE audio-markers dotted across the city centre – from Keel Square to the Fire Station & Sunderland Empire, and over to Sunderland Minster. As you do, you'll hear hidden histories and conversations from some of the people who call Sunderland home. See which stories you connect with the most, what memories they bring to mind, and what histories you didn't know. STAYING SAFE As you set off on your audio adventure, please remember to stay alert to what's around you. That means looking out for roads, traffic, and any steps or uneven surfaces. Like any exploration, be mindful of your safety and respect all local rules and opening times. You're heading out on this adventure at your own discretion, so enjoy it responsibly and you explore the trail at your own risk. CREATED BY This experience was created and developed by The Six Twenty (theatre company) in partnership with Sunderland Youth Council (an advisory network of young people aged 11 to 19) and Together for Children (Youth and Family Services). Sunderland Youth Council makes sure that young people's voices are heard. YOU ARE HERE is commissioned by Historic England as part of their History in the Making programme – an initiative that empowers young people to discover, record, and share the diverse experiences and memories of their community. The project is also supported by Arts Council England. ACCESSING THE TRAIL You can experience the trail through the Echoes app. If you have any difficulty accessing it, or prefer to listen another way, all the audio is also available on our website at www.thesixtwenty.com. While you're there, be sure to check out details of our group walks led by a tour guide using silent disco headsets – a fantastic way to explore with others!
