All Blood Runs Red: Rehearsal Images Released
3rd February 2025
We’re back from a brilliant long weekend in Rotherham, which saw five imitating the dog video-mapping projections take over town centre buildings as part of the fantastic and fantastical Otherham Winter Lights Festival. It was a lovely place to be, with an equally wonderful atmosphere – a huge thank you to all who turned out, to the ITD and Flux Rotherham teams for their hard work and to frequent imitating the dog collaborator Ed Waring for capturing each of the video-mapping installations in action.
Running from Friday 24th-Sunday 26th January, and the first event of Rotherham’s year-long celebration as the inaugural Children’s Capital of Culture, Otherham invited people to see their town and its buildings reimagined by a trail of projections inspired by the creative and inventive storytelling of the borough’s young residents.
The event was organised and led by Flux Rotherham, in collaboration with ourselves, Grimm & Co, RMBC Events and the Children’s Capital of Culture. In the months running up to the festival, we worked with Grimm & Co to help facilitate their 6-week writing programme for young people aged 12-16, which saw participants create stories to inspire the projection designs. We also partnered with Flux, Children’s Capital of Culture and Studio Bokehgo to work with schools and young creators to produce original, imaginative short films, which were showcased in our ‘Cinema of Future Films’ projection.

Bright Ideas Mining Company Inc
Rise House, transformed into key location for mining ideas and creativity! Otherham sits above rich seams of imagination buried deep below ground and those raw ideas are being unearthed in this story of the limitless potential of children and young people’s imaginations, and what can be achieved from mining the best and brightest ideas.
