About A Sharing of Gifts:
Drawing upon our research into Greater Manchester’s industrial heritage through textiles and procession, Global Grooves presented a brand new piece of Carnival, proudly made in Manchester. This new presentation was a reflection of our global interdependence and a celebration of our shared heritage and identity, exploring the resourceful, progressive, and innovative approach to industry and processional Carnival arts from our past and present.
Between March and June 2022, we weaved together creative elements using traditional making techniques, musical phrasing, and dance movements that told the story of today’s Greater Manchester, proudly sharing our story, and the talents and diversity of its population, on the global stage.
