Barnaby Festival 2016: Space Science Strand

Macclesfield Barnaby Festival的慈善目标是：“通过提供公共活动，包括表演，展览，研讨会，讲座以及受托人可能决定的其他方式，促进公众在艺术，科学以及Macclesfield的历史和遗产方面的教育。“该组织的目标是：（主要业绩指标：医疗保险基金受众总数;确定有增长潜力的受众：i）年轻人，ii）年轻/家庭受众，iii）来自SK 10/SK 11以外的游客，iv）低收入居民-增加对艺术和科学的参与（KPI：参与医疗保险基金的志愿者、参与者、团体、表演者、专家和艺术家的总数）-提高麦克尔斯菲尔德艺术和科学体验的质量和深度（KPI：活动/展览/整体节日的感知质量;遗产[态度，资产，附带利益];体验新活动/知识的游客数量-展示和支持当地人才和技能（KPI：当地表演者、专家和艺术家以及新/原创作品/活动的比例）-增加该镇的文化活动及其影响（KPI：麦克尔斯菲尔德没有文化事件;媒体报道;影响范围）该项目的总体影响将是激发和吸引巴纳比2016年节日观众使用“空间”主题进行科学和天文学。巴纳比2016“太空”科学链的目标是：- 积极吸引麦克尔斯菲尔德所有年龄段的观众，特别是10- 18奥尔兹的青少年，社会经济成就较低地区的儿童，以及更多以艺术为重点的节日观众-激发和吸引他们参与活动和机会-突出Jodrell Bank等设施的前沿研究方面-打破艺术和科学之间的障碍，通过并排解释主题“空间”-建立在现有的基础上，并与当地和全国的科学家，工程师和教育工作者建立新的合作伙伴关系我们将通过公众参与的重大变化来实现这一目标，并在Barnaby 2016提供更广泛的教育科学和技术链。利用主题“空间”，我们将利用靠近Jodrell Bank和当地科学和制药行业专业人士的优势，鼓励Maxonians探索，享受和参与艺术和科学。我们已经成功地赢得了英国艺术理事会的资助，通过视觉艺术委员会的计划（我们正在与Jodrell Bank和曼彻斯特大学讨论居住艺术家）和参与性表演艺术委员会（La Lune，一个互动的，整个城镇，关于天文学家冒险的八天节日叙事活动）来解释“空间”的主题。这一应用将提供一个科学链，以补充和加强我们现有的计划，并创造一个跨艺术和科学的“空间”的整体解释。Barnaby 2016可以支持实现以下STFC目标：-利用这些学科领域对许多国家受众的启发价值，包括公众，学校，年轻人和其他群体-鼓励STFC资助的科学家向更广泛的受众提供支持，并与非专业人士讨论问题-鼓励科学家和教育工作者，行业和专业传播者之间的伙伴关系。

Macclesfield Barnaby Festival's charitable object is: "To advance the education of the public in the arts, sciences and the history and heritage of Macclesfield by the provision of public events, including performances, exhibitions, workshops, talks and by such other means as the trustees may determine." The aims of the organisation are: - To broaden audiences engaging with the arts and sciences in Macclesfield (KPIs: total MBF audience numbers; audiences identified with growth potential: i) young people, ii) young/family audiences, iii) visitors from outside SK10/SK11 iv) low-income residents- To increase participation in the arts and sciences (KPI: total number of volunteers, participants, groups, performers, experts & artists involved in MBF)- To improve the quality and depth of experience of the arts and sciences in Macclesfield (KPIs: perceived quality of events/exhibitions/overall festival; legacy [attitudes, assets, spin-offs]; number of visitors who experience new activity/knowledge- To showcase and support local talent and skills (KPIs: proportion of local performers, experts & artists and new/original productions/events)- To increase the town's cultural activities and impact thereof (KPIs: no of cultural happenings in Macclesfield; media coverage; reach)The overall impact of this project will be to inspire and engage the Barnaby2016 festival audience in science and astronomy using a 'space' theme. The aims of the Barnaby2016 'Space' Sciences strand are: - To actively engage audiences of all ages in Macclesfield, particularly 10-18yr olds, children in areas of lower socio economic achievement, and the more arts-focused festival audience - to inspire and engaging them with activities and opportunities to participate- to highlight aspects of frontier research at facilities such as Jodrell Bank- to break down barriers between the arts and sciences by interpreting the theme 'space' side by side - to build on existing and create new partnerships with scientists, engineers and educators, locally and nationally We will do this by a major step change in public engagement and offer a more extensive, educative science and technology strand at Barnaby2016. Using the theme 'space' we will capitalising on the proximity to Jodrell Bank and the scientific & pharmaceutical industry professionals locally to encourage Maxonians to explore, enjoy and engage with both the arts and the sciences. We have already been successful in winning grant funding from the Arts Council England to interpret the theme of 'space' through a programme of visual arts commissions (we are in discussion with Jodrell Bank and University of Manchester about an artist in residence) and a participatory performing arts commission (La Lune, an interactive, whole town, narrative event over eight days of the festival about an astronomer's adventure). This application would deliver a scientific strand to complement and enhance our existing programme and create a holistic interpretation of 'space' across the arts and sciences. Barnaby2016 can support delivery of the following STFC aims: -To capitalise on the inspirational value of these subject areas for many national audiences, including the general public, schools, young people and other groups -To encourage STFC-funded scientists to wider audiences and to discuss issues with non-specialists -To encourage partnerships, such as those between scientists and educators, industry and professional communicators.
